Internacional blew their chance at winning the Brazilian Serie A for the first time since 1979 after losing to Flamengo in their last game. They will hope for a second chance when they host Corinthians in the final match of the league campaign. Internacional head to this game on 69 points and in second place while Corinthians have 50 points, in 10th place. Heading to the penultimate game of the season, Internacional led the standings, but are now two points off and hoping leaders Flamengo stumble in their final match. All that would be useless if Inter do not win, and that is where their focus should be after winning just once in the last four league matches. Defensively, Inter have been weak, and head to this clash having managed just two clean sheets in the last eight games. It will be worse with defender Rodinei Marcelo suspended after getting sent off in the last game. After two straight away matches, they will be hoping to return home with a winning touch though their last game at home ended in a 2-1 loss to Sport Recife. They have no clean sheet at home in the last four matches but they’ve scored in the last seven home games, and won six.

Corinthians, on their part, hold lower ambitions going to this game. They can only rise to ninth after their remaining game, though they can’t drop lower than 12th. The season is basically over after a disappointing campaign for the 2017 champions. They are winless in the last four matches, all in Serie A and have one clean sheet and one win in the last seven. Corinthians haven’t scored in the last two matches and have four straight away losses in Serie A. They’ve conceded two or more goals in three of the last four away matches in the league and carry a four match unbeaten run against Internacional.
