Insights:
  • São Paulo have the fewest scored goals in the second half (9) in Serie A

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

These teams have little in common geographically as Internacional have to travel 1100 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
