Internacional have managed to stay within touching distance of the leading pack and will hope to make it even better with three points as they prepare to host struggling Botafogo. These two sides are positioned on opposite ends in the Brazilian Serie A standings; Internacional in third place on 21 points and Botafogo in 14th place with 15 points. Coming into this game, Internacional registered a 2-1 win away to Goias. That win marked their 16th straight unbeaten game across all competitions. They have three wins in the last five matches but only one clean sheet in that run. Internacional are unbeaten in their last five home matches as well, scoring two or more goals in four of them, but managing just one clean sheet in the process.

Botafogo are coming from a shock home win against Sao Paulo, a victory that brought to an end a six-game winless run. The visitors will definitely be pumped up for this game but the challenge here will be bigger, looking at Internacional’s season so far. A 1-0 win over Sao Paulo in their last outing was Botafogo’s first clean sheet in seven matches, and before that win, they had suffered four straight defeats. In their last five matches, Botafogo have failed to score in three while they’ve scored more than a goal in just two of their last 10 matches. Away from home, they have two straight losses, the most recent a 4-0 defeat at Palmeiras and they have a lot to improve on from that performance, heading here without a goal in the last two away games.
