São Paulo and Internacional meet so often that they have become a pair who know each other well, trading wins and draws for years. The game São Paulo hosted late last year ended 3-0, the only one of the last six meetings in which either side won by a wide margin. This time the shape of the game is different, because Internacional are scrapping to escape the lower reaches of the table, while the hosts themselves are still not steady. São Paulo took two wins from three league games before stumbling in the cup, but their home form is still what keeps them going. Internacional, meanwhile, have just won 2-1 in their latest league match, but before that they lost heavily in both league and cup by scorelines their defence could not handle. A defence that has conceded more than it has scored all season is the image that has haunted the visitors throughout. If the hosts score first, the game will likely flow in one direction, because Internacional will have to open up and fight, and that is exactly when the visitors' back line loses its shape. São Paulo have enough in attack to punish that, so this game is more likely to end in a home win than in a share of the points.
