Match preview

Internacional host Santos at the Estadio Jose Pinheiro Borda in round 26 of Serie A, with both sides looking to stabilize their campaigns. Internacional enter the round in 18th place with 25 points from 25 matches, sitting in the relegation zone after consecutive away defeats against Bahia and Gremio. However, their home performances have remained far more resilient, having conceded only 13 goals across 13 home fixtures this season.

Santos occupy 14th place with 29 points from 24 games, four points clear of their hosts. While they secured a tight 1-0 away victory over Corinthians recently, their away form has generally been inconsistent, with five defeats from 11 matches on the road and 19 goals conceded away from home.

Recent head-to-head history heavily tilts toward the hosts, with Internacional unbeaten in the last nine meetings between the two clubs across all competitions, including four victories and five draws. With both squads managing notable absences due to suspensions and injuries, this matchup projects as a tightly contested encounter where home advantage gives Internacional a solid foundation to secure points.

Key factors

  • Internacional are unbeaten in their last nine head-to-head encounters against Santos across all competitions, winning four and drawing five.
  • Internacional have conceded just 13 goals in 13 home league matches this season, averaging only 1.0 goal conceded per game at home.
  • Santos have lost five of their 11 away league fixtures and conceded 19 goals on their travels.
  • Four of Santos's last five matches in all competitions have seen two or fewer total goals scored.
  • Santos are without key suspended players Lucas Verissimo and A. Barreal, alongside four injured squad members.

Internacional or Draw
Confidence72%

Internacional have proven difficult to beat at home, recording three wins and five draws from 13 home league matches while maintaining a solid defensive record of one goal conceded per game. Head-to-head records provide strong backing, as Internacional are undefeated in their last nine fixtures against Santos, winning four and drawing five. Santos face key absences through suspension for Lucas Verissimo and A. Barreal, which weakens their spine on the road where they have lost five of 11 matches.
