The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Internacional are in the 8th position while the guests worry at 15th.
It's no vacation for neither Internacional nor Fluminense as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1500 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
