Internacional form and stats

Internacional are steadily winning Serie A games and points here at Estádio José Pinheiro Borda. 11 wins, 5 draws and 1 defeat is the summary from 17 games. In general it's been a long time since Internacional tasted defeat here at Estádio José Pinheiro Borda, as they have taken at least one point from their last eleven home games in the league.

The regulars are hoping that Internacional will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the game against América Mineiro (placed 9th). This club enjoyed a 13 league fixtures long consecutive run without a defeat until that game! The penalty miss from Patrick in the defeat against América Mineiro was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen. Vitão, defender, was given a rating of 7.53/10 in that game, top of the team. Vitão won 3 of 4 duels.

Ahead of that match, Internacional won a home game hosting Ceara (2-1).

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Internacional have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 8 games) they have won 3 times, drawn 4 and lost 1.

Internacional are traveling soon after this match as the Serie A match at Sao Paulo awaits in three days.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (35 in 17 games), Internacional's attacking play is working. Internacional have only conceded 14 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Athletico PR form and stats

Playing away, Athletico PR have won 5 games, drawn 3 and suffered 9 defeats in the Serie A this season. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Athletico PR are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

Impressive finishing from Santana and Terans (2) secured the home win 3-2 against Goiás in their previous game. Midfield player Terans was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.21/10. Terans scored two goals, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

A defeat, in the Copa Libertadores away at Flamengo, before that. Athletico PR are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 0 wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats. From a total of 9 matches.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Serie A trip to Atletico GO.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Athletico as they have only managed to score 16 times from 17 away games in the league. Athletico PR's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 28 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

Athletico PR - Internacional 0-0 was the outcome when these two teams formerly did battle, some time ago this season. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: three - three - four (Internacional wins - draws - Athletico PR wins). As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five had two or less.
