Internacional form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Internacional so far with only 18 points returning home. The records show 5-3-10 (win-draw-lose).

It's the second away game in a row for Internacional, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Botafogo (placed 14th) in the Serie A last time out. Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus Goiás.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Atlético Mineiro in just four days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Internacional as they have only managed to score 15 times from 18 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Internacional have seen the ball go into their own net 22 times on the road.
