Internacional perform at a high level so far being 2nd in the table. Fluminense can look both up and down from their 8th position.
The hosts Internacional saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Copa do Brasil. That game was an away game at America Mineiro, so at least Internacional are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Fluminense have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1500 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

The victory against America Mineiro (after extra-time, 6-5 on penalties) came after Yuri Alberto's winning goal. The Internacional manager E.
