Serie A: What this match might lack in glitz it should compensate in effort and dedication. Bring on Internacional - Bahia!
- Bahia have the most conceded goals in the second half (22) in Serie A
Both squads have had enough days rest since their previous work day in an official game. Let's agree to expect an active match!
Bahia have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 3100 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Internacional form and stats
Internacional have collected 12 points from their Serie A home games so far after 3-3-3. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Internacional after consecutive victories at their own ground.
The Internacional goalkeeper Daniel de Sousa Brito is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 325 minutes without conceding a goal in the Serie A.
A nice win for Internacional last time playing, versus Fortaleza. That was also a home game and the match ended 1-0 with Edenilson scoring for the victors. Renzo Saravia was on the receiving end of a red card in the Internacional-Fortaleza match, being sent off in the 72nd minute. The game was drawn at that point, but the home side still managed to pull off a 1-0 victory. A late climax in the match against Fortaleza as the winning goal came two minutes into overtime; scored by Edenilson. The goalie Daniel was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 8.05 out of ten. Daniel stopped the opponent with four saves and topped it up with a clean sheet.
