Internacional will host São Paulo at the Estádio Beira-Rio on Sunday in another round of the 2025 Brasileirao Serie A campaign. The hosts will be looking to continue their recently found form and push higher up the league table.
Inter failed to capitalize on their chances and only managed to come away with a draw through a 91st-minute equalizer in their 1-1 draw with Vasco da Gama last time out. The Reds had won three league games on the bounce before that draw and will be hoping to extend their unbeaten run in the competition to five games on Sunday in hopes of moving into the Copa Libertadores qualification spots in the second half of the campaign.
São Paulo are only one point ahead of the hosts despite having played one game more and are also on a four-game unbeaten streak in the league after picking up a third consecutive victory with an impressive 3-1 win over Fluminense. The visitors have struggled to string together a consistent run of wins all season and will be hoping to continue their recent streak when they make the trip to Porto Alegre this weekend.
