Palmeiras will host Internacional at the Allianz Parque on Sunday in the 19th matchday of the Brasileiro Serie A.
The hosts have got their campaign back on track after a shaky two-week spell and are now going full steam ahead in their hunt for a record 11th league title. They picked up a hard-fought 1-0 win over struggling America Mineiro in their last game, with Gustavo Scarpa coming off the bench to score the sole goal of the game after their opponents had squandered multiple chances to take the lead.
Palmeiras sit atop the league table at the midpoint of the season with 36 points from 18 games. They will be looking to continue their good run to strengthen their grip at the top.
Internacional are also playing well at the moment and will fancy themselves title contenders. They played out an entertaining 3-3 draw against Sao Paulo last time out but will feel they should have come away with more after taking the lead on three different occasions in the first half.
The Colorado have picked up 30 points from 18 games this season and sit sixth in the league standings. They will be looking to return to winning ways when they face the league leaders this weekend.
