Sao Paulo host Internacional in a Serie A fixture that brings two clubs together at very different points in their seasons.
Dorival Junior's side sit 12th in the table and will want to build on their recent domestic wins, but they carry the weight of a difficult run of results that has included back-to-back defeats. Their Copa Sudamericana commitments have stretched the squad, and finding consistency across two competitions has proven difficult.
Internacional arrive in worse shape. Paulo Pezzolano's side are 18th in Serie A and have not won in their last five matches across all competitions. Three defeats in that run, combined with a goal return of just two, points to a team struggling to find any rhythm.
The gap in league position tells only part of the story. For Internacional, a defeat here would deepen an already serious relegation concern. Sao Paulo, by contrast, have the chance to put distance between themselves and the bottom half.

Starting XI
Substitutes
Manager
- D. Junior
- P. Pezzolano
Dorival Junior has no confirmed injuries or suspensions listed for Sao Paulo ahead of this fixture, and no probable starting XI has been released at this stage. Updates will be added closer to kick-off as the squad picture develops.
Paulo Pezzolano is similarly without confirmed team news for Internacional. No injuries or suspensions have been listed for the away side, and further information is expected in the build-up to the match.
Form
Sao Paulo have recorded two wins, one draw, and two defeats from their last five matches across all competitions. Their most recent outing ended 1-1 against Boca Juniors in the Copa Sudamericana, following a 2-0 Serie A defeat to Palmeiras. The run also includes wins over Atletico MG and Red Bull Bragantino, though three losses in five reflects the inconsistency that has defined their recent weeks. Sao Paulo scored six goals and conceded four across those five fixtures.
Internacional have not won in their last five matches, picking up one win, no draws, and four defeats in that run. Their most recent result was a 1-2 Serie A win over Chapecoense AF on September 12, but that followed a 2-3 loss to Santos and a 3-1 Cup defeat to Gremio. Pezzolano's side scored just five goals and conceded eight across those five games, a record that underlines their current difficulties.
Head-to-Head Record
Head to Head
The most recent meeting between these clubs came in Serie A on April 1, 2026, when the fixture ended 1-1. Across the last five head-to-head meetings in Serie A, the record is closely contested: Sao Paulo hold two wins to Internacional's one, with two draws rounding out the series. The most recent five fixtures have produced a combined 10 goals, suggesting matches between these sides tend to carry genuine attacking threat despite the current form of both clubs.

In the current Serie A table, Sao Paulo sit 12th while Internacional are placed 18th, meaning the visitors are firmly in the relegation picture and cannot afford further dropped points against a mid-table side.
