The season has been one of struggle for Santos and Internacional so far, ahead of their meeting in Sao Paulo. The two sides are a point apart in the lower half of the Serie A, Santos 12th and Internacional 13th. Hosts Santos go into this game on the back of their elimination from the Brazilian Cup by Bahia. That result came through post match penalties after a 1-1 draw, and left them without a win in five games. Santos have also failed to score in three of their last five matches. They’ve managed just two goals in their last five games, a run they should be sweating to change. Four of their last five matches have ended with under 2.5 goals scored. At home, Santos haven't lost in the last five matches, but they’ve failed to score in the last two. Three of their last five home matches have produced under 2.5 goals. In their last six matches, Santos haven't scored more than one goal.

Internacional are also coming from elimination from the Brazilian Cup. Theirs too culminated in post-match penalties after a 3-1 win, and they lost. The defeat was their third in five matches and came just when all thought they’d found their footing. Before the loss, Internacional had won two straight games. Having led 3-1 at full time, they will want to look at this positively and take motivation from it. Internacional have scored two or more goals in each of the last three matches but in a run of five, they have one clean sheet. Perhaps they will be happy to be facing a Santos side that hasn’t been scoring consistently. It has been worse away from home for Inter; they have four losses in five. In their only away win in five, they didn’t keep a clean sheet. Inter have conceded two or more goals in four of their last five matches away from home
