It has been all too rare in recent times that São Paulo have shown defensive steel. In fact, São Paulo have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, giving up 13 goals during that time.
Internacional DLDWDL
After a losing effort in their last game against Vasco da Gama in Serie A competition, Internacional and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

For their opponents, Vasco da Gama had 6 shots at goal with 3 of them on target. Andrés Gómez (2'), Rayan (9', 47'), Barros (58') and Moreira (66') scored for Vasco da Gama.
The stats don’t lie, and Internacional have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, seeing opposing sides hit 7 goals in all. Defensively, Internacional have clearly had some problems. Such a pattern might not be carried forward into this next game, though.

✨ Prediction
Looking at these two, we feel that Internacional and São Paulo should both be able to find the back of the net here although it’s difficult to select a clear winner.
It’s looking like it could well end up as a draw. That’s why our selection here is for a very close game with a score draw at the conclusion of the game.
