Serie A: The mid-table positions show the journey Santos and Internacional have been on so far. Both teams are up for it; let's go!
- Santos have the fewest dropped points from leading position (0) in Serie A
- Internacional have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
These are full days for the home side, as they were in action only three days ago in the Copa Sudamericana. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Libertad.
Internacional have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1100 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Santos form and stats
4-3-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie A numbers at home for Santos, who have the fewest conceded goals (3) at home in Serie A, so far this season.
No payout for Santos in their previous match, an away game at Libertad that ended in defeat 0-1.
A 1-1 draw away in the Serie A before that, with Fortaleza the opponent.The manager F. Diniz Silva will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Atletico PR in only three days.
The Santos fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 8 matches. Santos have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 3 goals. It's worth mentioning that 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Internacional form and stats
3-3-2 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Internacional in their Serie A matches away.
Impressive finishing from Edenilson (2), Paolo Guerrero and Yuri Alberto secured the home win 4-2 against Fluminense in their previous game. Midfielder Edenilson was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.22. Edenilson scored two goals, hit one key pass, dribled passed the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 22 successful passes (of 27 total). As you can tell from the result, the match against Fluminense was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
Prior to that result Internacional won their away game at Flamengo. The scoreline was 4-0.Internacional have scored 11 goals on their travels this season, from 8 away games in the league. 10 goals have been conceded by Internacional in these games.
