A gargantuan fixture in the Brasileirao this weekend pits Internacional against Gremio on Sunday. Leading the league with 59 points from 31 games, Internacional are only two points clear of nearest challengers Sao Paulo. Gremio are a bit further back in sixth place, but their game in hand and 51-point tally ensures that they are still title contenders. A win at Internacional would see Gremio take a prominent position in the race. However, that task will not be simple. Internacional are on a seven-game winning streak going into this fixture. What's more, their last win was their most emphatic of the campaign, an exceptional 5-1 butchering of Sao Paulo at the Estádio do Morumbi. Yuri Alberto will have plenty of eyeballs on him after an inspired nine-minute hat-trick in that mauling. Thiago Galhardo, the league's leading scorer, didn't even get on the scoresheet in that win, showing the firepower that Internacional have at their disposal. No team has scored more than their 53 goals. 

Internacional won their last four home matches. Gremio are on an impressive eight-game unbeaten away run. The most interesting aspect of this run is that Gremio have drawn their previous five away games. Seven of their last eight away games have featured fewer than three goals. Gremio are unbeaten in their last 11 meetings with Internacional. Extraordinarily, the past 14 meetings between these teams featured fewer than three goals. While Internacional have been sensational of late, we see no reason for such a set pattern to change. Back under 2.5 goals.
