Internacional get ready for this following their 1-1 result vs Bragantino, a match that produced some answers. How will this affect the battle against Corinthians?

Insights:
  • Internacional have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.

These are hectic days for the home side, as they played only three days ago in the Serie A. This match was also played here at Estádio José Pinheiro Borda. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Corinthians have had more rest.

These teams have little in common geographically as Corinthians have to travel 1100 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Internacional form and stats

6 victories, 4 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Internacional have to build on here at Estádio José Pinheiro Borda in the Serie A.

The home supporters saw a 1-1 draw versus Bragantino in the Serie A last time out and are looking for a win here. Goalkeeper Marcelo Lomba got the top rating on the team in that game; 7.6 out of ten. Lomba stopped the opponent with five saves.

A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Palmeiras.

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 seven games) they have won five times, drawn one and lost one.

A decent goal production from Internacional in their home games so far, with 21 goals from 13 league matches. 14 goals have been conceded.

Corinthians form and stats

As the visiting team in Serie A matches, Corinthians have produced an overall stat of 5-6-3 so far. Corinthians has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Corinthians, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus São Paulo (placed 12th). Defender Fábio Santos was the best team player with a rating of 7.44. Santos won 5 of 9 duels.

That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Fluminense.

Corinthians are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, four draws and five defeats. From a total of eleven matches.

The visitors have scored 11 goals from 14 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (9 so far).

Head 2 Head

This was the end result when the teams met earlier this campaign; Corinthians - Internacional 1-1. Internacional-Corinthians H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Internacional one win, Corinthians two wins, seven draws. one of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
