Internacional have been on the rise in recent years and as they begin their Serie A campaign with a home game against Sport Recife, they will be keen on a winning start. Last season they just missed the title after finishing a point below the winners, Flamengo. That came after finishing a lowly seventh in the earlier season and this time they will be eyeing a winners’ medal. They head to this game on the back of a good showing at the Copa Libertadores and have also been taking part in the Gaucho 1. A point earned in their last game, a 0-0 draw with Always Ready in the Copa Libertadores saw Internacional finish top of Group B and they’ll be well charged for a good start. They go to this clash unbeaten in their last three matches and with two clean sheets therein, but they haven’t scored more than a goal in the last five matches. They wrapped up last season without a win in their final two home league matches but had won each of the earlier six. Internacional have one win in five matches against Sport Recife.

Sport Recife have two wins in the last three meetings with Internacional and will hope to carry on that way as they gun for a good start. They finished 15th last season, just a point above the relegation zone. The visitors haven’t had high profile matches ahead of the league kickoff, majorly due to their low finish last season. Going to this game, they’ve been playing in the regional Pernambucano 1 and are coming from two straight draws there. In only one of their last five matches have they managed to score more than a goal, while they have three clean sheets and three wins. Sport Recife finished last season on a low, failing to win any of their last three league games. The visitors proved not to be the best on the road last season; in their final 15 league matches away from home, they managed just three wins.
