Corinthians vs Internacional: Team News and Expert Analysis
The São Paulo club is the current holder of the trophy. Thanks to this, despite finishing thirteenth in Serie A, they qualified for the Copa Libertadores—where the Brazilians are preparing to start the playoffs. Domestically, however, they remain mid-table. In the last round, they recorded another draw, this time against Athletico Paranaense.
The Porto Alegre team managed to stay in Serie A in 2025, but only with difficulty. It was decided in the final stages: they earned 44 points, while Fortaleza and Ceara had 43 each and were relegated. Now, this fate may also await the current squad. Even after a draw with the champions Flamengo, they are hovering near the relegation zone.
The home side began their title defense with narrow 1-0 wins over modest Barra. Pezzolano's men played a more entertaining game against a similarly-ranked Athletic Club. Still, they also won twice, 2-1 and 3-2. In the head-to-head, the current visitors unexpectedly won 2-0.
