Match Stats

Internacional returns to action in the Brazilian top flight after a 10-day break, looking to extend their three-match unbeaten streak in the league. Under Roger Machado, the team has been strong at home, winning their last two matches at Estádio José Pinheiro Borda by a narrow margin. They’ve also been solid defensively this season, allowing the fewest goals in the league so far (19).

Internacional has maintained a perfect record in domestic matches this year when scoring multiple goals, having won their last two such games. With 32 points from 22 matches, they are six points behind their total at this stage last year. They’ve won three of their last four home encounters against Fortaleza, including their last victory in the 2022 season.

Fortaleza, who were leading the league before their recent match, looked lackluster in their 2-0 loss to Botafogo, managing only one shot on target. This defeat ended a 12-match unbeaten run and marked their first league loss since early July. Despite this setback, they have the fewest defeats in the league and have won their last 11 matches when scoring first, most recently beating Corinthians 1-0. Fortaleza has secured points in their last three league games against Internacional, including a 1-0 away win last season.


Prediction:  Internacional 0-1 Fortaleza
