The action continues in the Brasileiro Serie A as Internacional and Ceara go head-to-head at the Estádio Beira-Rio on Sunday. Leo Conde’s side have won each of their last three away matches across all competitions and will be looking to extend this solid run.
Bruno Tabata came up clutch for Internacional last Saturday when he netted in the 92nd minute to hand them a 1-0 victory over Vitoria at the Estádio Beira-Rio.
Before that, Roger Machado’s men were on a six-game winless run in the league, losing four and conceding twice, conceding 14 goals and scoring four since the start of May.
Internacional have picked up 14 points from their 13 Serie A matches so far to sit 14th in the standings, level on points with 13th-placed Santos Laguna.

On the other hand, Ceara were sent crashing back to earth last time out when they fell to a 1-0 defeat against Corinthians at the Arena Castelao.
Before that, Conde’s men were on a run of three consecutive victories, including a penalty-shootout win over Sport Recife in the Copa do Nordeste quarter-finals on July 10.
Ceara have picked up 18 points from their 13 league matches so far to sit 10th in the table but could rise into seventh place with all three points this weekend.
