Internacional will be looking to turn around their fortunes

Internacional takes on Cuiaba at the Estadio Beira-Rio in Brazil's Serie A on Sunday with both sides enduring poor seasons so far.

Internacional are currently 14th in the table and a loss on Sunday could see them finish the weekend in the relegation zone.

Diego Aguirre's side have only won two of their last 10 games across all competitions and have struggled to find the back of the net of late. The Colorado have a great chance to climb up the table with a win against a poor Cuiaba side.

Cuiaba currently find themselves in the same boat as Internacional. Jorginho's side sit 15th in the table, two points behind their opponents with a game in hand.

The Dourado have, however, picked up their form recently and are unbeaten in four of their last five games.

Both sides will know that this is a great opportunity for them to climb up the table and that should make for a feisty contest on Sunday.


Internacional vs Cuiaba Head-to-Head

Internacional have a slight advantage based on the head-to-head record between the two sides, winning one of their two previous meetings.

The win came the last time the two sides met back in 2014. Internacional demolished Cuiaba 4-1 on the night. A brace from Alex Meschini and goals from Rafael Moura and Fabricio secured the victory, with Alan getting a consolation goal in the 90th minute.
