Sao Paulo scored 12 goals, conceded 14 and managed two clean sheets in their previous ten matches.

Internacional vs Sao Paulo Prediction

Internacional Form

Internacional collected two wins and a draw from their last three matches, as they ran out 1-0 and 1-2 winners against Ceara and Santos FC, respectively. Against Vasco da Gama, they had to settle for a draw as the match finished even with a 1-1 scoreline. Internacional won half of their previous six matches on home soil in the Serie A, while also drawing two. They suffered one defeats, while they scored seven and conceded five goals.

Internacional have already squandered enough points to put themselves under pressure, if they are to challenge for the title seriously in the Serie A this season.

Sao Paulo Form

Sao Paulo look fabulous with three wins on the trot, starting off against Corinthians, who were defeated by 2-0. Then, Juventude got outclassed in a 0-1 win, before beating Fluminense by 3-1. Sao Paulo managed to win just once in their past six away games in the Serie A. On top of winning once they also drew two as well as losing three, while scoring eight time and letting in five.

Ambitions are high for Sao Paulo, and winning the title is still possible, but they need to raise their level to achieve the highest prize.

Internacional are well up for the task of building on their current momentum, and we expect them to deliver the goods in their upcoming clash at Beira-Rio Stadium against visitors Sao Paulo.

Sao Paulo won zero of their last eight matches against teams from the top half of the Serie A table, scoring seven and conceding 13 goals. They collected four points from these. Internacional claimed five wins, six draws as well as five defeats in the Serie A this season. Sao Paulo enjoy a record of five wins, seven draws and five defeats in the Serie A.
