Matchday 21 in the Brasileiro Série A sees title challengers Cruzeiro hosting struggling Internacional at the Mineirão. Who will come out on top in this match between third-place Raposa and 12th-placed Colorado? Check out our prediction below!
Under manager Leonardo Jardim, Cruzeiro have been one of the surprise teams of the 2025 season. They went from finishing ninth last year to mounting a possible title challenge in the current campaign.
However, they’ve started to look more vulnerable in recent weeks after a red-hot start to the season. In their last outing, Cruzeiro were held to a 1-1 draw away at Mirassol. The result means that they’ve only managed one win in their last five league fixtures (2D, 2L).
They’ll have to get back to winning ways quickly if they are to keep up with Palmeiras and leaders Flamengo, the latter of whom they currently trail by five points.
Internacional fans are sure to be having nightmares of Flamengo when they go to sleep. Colorado have lost their last three matches in a row, all of which were against Mengão.
They lost both legs of their Copa Libertadores round of 16 tie to Flamengo, the most recent of which finished 2-0 at home. They’ve now taken just four points from their last four league matches and find themselves just barely holding on to the final Copa Sudamericana spot in 12th place.

Our Cruzeiro vs Internacional Prediction
Cruzeiro will be out for revenge here after losing the reverse fixture 3-0, in large part to having a player sent off after just 20 minutes. They could be catching their opponents at a great time to do just that, as Inter will be reeling from their disappointing showing in the Champions League round of 16.
It’s going to be a big ask for the Internacional players to pick themselves up and try to win away against one of the division’s top-performing teams. Our Cruzeiro vs Internacional prediction: Cruzeiro wins the match.
