Internacional form and stats

Hopes of three in a row are alive for Internacional after consecutive victories at their own ground.

Internacional enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Coritiba's place. The match ended 1-0 with Paolo Guerrero scoring. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Grêmio (0-2).

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Internacional matches with similar probabilities have ended with four wins, zero draws and two defeats (from six games).

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

Last season, Internacional's league statistics were 16 wins, 9 draws and 13 losses, resulting in a 7th position in the Serie A. Over these 38 matches they scored 44 goals and conceded 39. Playing at home last season Internacional managed 11-6-2 (win-draw-lost) with 28 goals and 15 conceded.

Santos form and stats

Three consecutive losses in away matches means Santos are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

There were no winners in Santos's previous match, a Serie A home game that ended 1-1 vs Bragantino (placed 6th). Preceding that, the 1-3 home loss versus Ponte Preta.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Santos when being an outsider away as they are today, we find two matches with the visitors losing one time, drawing zero and winning one game.

A new game in only three days for Santos, the Serie A home match versus Athletico PR. Busy days.

Let's have a look at how Santos performed last season in the Paulista A1: They landed a 1st position in the league table after playing out 4 victories, 4 draws and 4 defeats. In total they scored 13 and conceded 12 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 1 - drew 1 and lost 4 with 5/10 goals scored/conceded.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Internacional five wins, three draws and Santos two victories. As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five games had two or less.
