The visitors of the upcoming match are at the bottom of the standings and take 17th place with five points. Sao Paulo is in the relegation zone, lagging only one point behind its nearest opponent from the safe zone, Sport Recife. In the current league, Tricolor Paulista have scored five goals and conceded eleven times. The last ten matches of Sao Paulo ended in four draws, one victory, and five defeats. In previous rounds, the team lost to Red Bull Bragantino (1-2) and Santos (2-0) and tied against Corinthians (0-0), Ceara (1-1), and Cuiaba (2-2). Tricolor Paulista gained their only victory in a long time in the Brazilian Cup against Julio Esporte (9-1). Sao Paulo has not won more than ten away games in a row.
Sao Paulo never managed to defeat Internacional in the previous season. However, you cannot call any team from this pair the undisputed favorite. Both opponents have a chance of winning the upcoming match. In their last matches, the opponents made quite a few mistakes in defense, so there is a feeling that we will see goals in both nets.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score — yes
