Internacional and Vitoria return to action in Brasileiro Serie A when they go head-to-head at the Estádio Beira-Rio on Saturday. Thiago Carpini’s men have failed to win their six away games in the league this term and will be looking to end this dry spell.
Internacional failed to find their feet last time out when they suffered a 2-0 defeat against Atletico Mineiro at Arena MRV. This followed a similar 2-0 loss at the hands of Fluminense on June 2, a result which saw Roger Machado’s side’s five-game unbeaten run across all competitions come to an end.
Internacional have picked up 11 points from their 12 Serie A matches so far to sit 17th in the league standings, level on points with Santos Laguna and Saturday’s visitors.
Trending
On the other hand, Vitoria were dumped out of the Copa do Nordeste in the quarter-finals as they fell to a 1-0 defeat against third-tier Confianca on Monday.
This was in keeping with their struggles in the league, where Carpini’s men are on a four-game winless run — claiming two points from a possible 12 — and have won just one of their last eight matches since April.
While Vitoria will look to restore some pride this weekend, they will need to be at their best at the Estádio Beira-Rio, having failed to taste victory on the road in the league this season (3L, 3D).
