The team arrives at this cup match off the back of a difficult run in the league. Internacional's results have been inconsistent lately, and the defence has been a real problem - four defeats and a draw in their last five Serie A games, the most recent a 1-1 against reigning champions Flamengo.
In the Copa do Brasil, Internacional already came through a tough tie against Athletic Minas Gerais (2-1, 3-2) from Série B, getting the job done through character and quality at key moments.

The visitors come into this match with an extra psychological edge - they're the reigning Copa do Brasil holders and know how to navigate the tough rounds of this competition. In the Round of 32, Fernando Diniz's side got past Barra (1-0, 1-0) from Série C. For Timão, the first leg in Porto Alegre is a chance to keep the tie level and settle the question of progression back at Neo Química Arena.
Their current form looks solid too. Corinthians went four straight Série A matches without a defeat - two wins, then two draws. They've also scored in seven consecutive away games and gone unbeaten in their last three matches on the road across all competitions. That said, in 7 of their last 8 away games they couldn't manage more than one goal. Cup experience and the ability to grind out results are what the visitors are banking on.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
Internacional will have the advantage of playing at home and should be able to put pressure on their opponents through an attacking approach. However, Corinthians have extensive experience in the Copa do Brasil and know how to manage two-legged knockout ties. As the defending champions, they are unlikely to take unnecessary risks in the first leg and will aim to secure a positive result before the return match.
A tense and hard-fought contest is expected, with both teams approaching the game cautiously but still creating scoring opportunities. Our main prediction is Both Teams to Score - Yes, as Corinthians have scored and conceded in each of their last six away matches. Predicted score: 1:1.
