Internacional haven’t lost a league-game in twelve attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Fluminense, 80 days ago.

Sport Recife form and stats

Sport Recife, who have the fewest scored goals (27) in Serie A, have only collected 13 points from their away games in the Serie A, after 3-4-10 (17 played).

It's the second away game in a row for Recife, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Botafogo (placed 20th) in the Serie A last time out. A 0-3 loss hosting Flamengo before that.

We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Recife played away with similar odds. This revealed four games. The visitors overcame the odds to win one time, one were draw and the home team won as expected two times.

The attacking power of Sport Recife when travelling is not overwhelming with 10 goals scored from 17 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Recife have seen the ball go into their own net 24 times on the road.

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Sport Recife - Internacional 3-5. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Internacional won four games, four matches ended with a draw and Sport Recife has two wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: six / four
