Internacional vs Corinthians: Team News and Expert Analysis
The club from Porto Alegre fought hard to avoid relegation last season. In the end, they collected 44 points, narrowly staying ahead of relegated Fortaleza and Ceara. Once again, they are struggling to pull away from the drop zone. Surprisingly, after a series of defeats, they managed a draw against the champions, Flamengo.
The São Paulo team finished thirteenth, but won the national cup. This earned them a spot in the Copa Libertadores, where the Brazilians advanced to the playoffs. In Serie A, however, they failed to show significant improvement, with wins, losses, and draws evenly split before the break. After the league resumed, they defeated Remo, then shared points with Bahia and Athletico Paranaense.
Carbonero and his teammates faced modest Athletic Club in the previous cup round and won both legs by the narrowest of margins: 2-1 and 3-2. The current title holders secured 1-0 wins in both matches against Barra.
