Here is all you need to know about the Serie A fixture Internacional - Palmeiras!

Insights:
  • Internacional have yet to win a game at home.
  • Palmeiras haven’t played a single 0-0 game.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Internacional and Palmeiras.

These teams have little in common geographically as Palmeiras 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

Three Serie A home games done for Internacional, who are not happy collecting 2 points from these matches.

The home team returns to Estádio José Pinheiro Borda after being equal after 90 minutes with América Mineiro (placed 19th) on their last time out; the Serie A game ended 1-1. Rodrigo Dourado (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 8.0/10. Dourado scored one goal and had 49 successful passes (of 56 total).

In the preceding match a 2-1 victory visiting Chapecoense.

This is expected to be a close game, with Internacional perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Internacional as a small favourite), we find seven games. Internacional has won two of these, drawn one and lost four.

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

The Internacional fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 3 in 3 matches. On the other hand, Internacional have conceded 4 goals.

Palmeiras form and stats

Things could have gone better for Palmeiras in their Serie A away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right.

Palmeiras had fun at their own home (Estádio José Pinheiro Borda) last time out, beating Bahia 3-2. Gustavo Scarpa, Breno Lopes and Raphael Veiga scored. Midfielder Gustavo Scarpa was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.52. Scarpa scored one goal, served one assist and hit six key passes. Late drama in the previous game, when Breno Lopes scored the winning goal two minutes into stoppage time to defeat Bahia.

A 1-3 defeat away at Bragantino before that.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found seven similar matches played by Palmeiras in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Palmeiras, two draws and three defeats.

Palmeiras has another fixture away, a Serie A game, against Sport Recife in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!

The visiting Palmeiras have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 4 goals from 3 games. Palmeiras have conceded 4 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: three - three - four (Internacional wins - draws - Palmeiras wins). As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), nine had two or less.
