Serie A is back in action, and this is a game where both teams need points for different reasons. Fluminense sit in 5th and want to hold on to their position, while Internacional are in 16th and need points to pull away from the bottom of the table. Fluminense just went away and beat Palmeiras 0-1 in the Copa Libertadores on 22 Oct, before coming back to lose 2-1 to Chapecoense in Serie A on 25 Oct. Internacional, meanwhile, just thrashed Botafogo 3-0 at home in Serie A on 24 Oct, after previously losing 2-0 to Mirassol. So this is a game where Internacional are riding the confidence of their last match, but going away to a higher-placed team is a different matter. The pattern of play is likely to be Fluminense with more of the ball and trying to open things up from midfield, while Internacional will probably sit back and wait to counter from the moments they win the ball. If Fluminense dominate as expected and don't leave gaps for Internacional to counter easily, the game is likely to end with the home side taking the three points.
