Internacional arrive in São Paulo after a difficult run in the league - the "Colorado" managed to end a four-match losing streak with a 1:1 draw against Flamengo in the last round. However, the team received an extra emotional boost in the Copa do Brasil. Paulo Pezzolano's side eliminated the defending champions Corinthians with a 3:2 aggregate (2:0, 1:2), which should give them confidence ahead of the tough clash with Palmeiras. One of Internacional's main problems remains their away form and attacking inconsistency - they have lost four consecutive matches on the road. Moreover, in São Paulo against Palmeiras, Internacional have not won in 12 of their last 13 visits.

⭐ Editor's Pick
Palmeiras look like the favourites thanks to the home advantage, more consistent form and squad quality. Internacional are capable of making things difficult for the hosts, especially after a strong run in the Copa do Brasil, however over the distance the "verdão" look more reliable.
High scoring can also be expected: in Palmeiras' last five matches the total over 2.5 goals came in. We expect the hosts to control the game, but the visitors will try to keep things interesting for as long as possible. The predicted score is 2-1 to Palmeiras.
