In the last match, he won Sport at home (2-1), after having lost in the previous game in a game against Palmeiras (1-0).

In the current season, the team has been making an irregular campaign within the national championship, winning 33 of the 75 points played thus far, being thus in the middle of the table, six points in front of the relegation zone and nine points behind the zone of classification for the Liberators cup.

I believe that in this confrontation Corinthians, being playing at home, will manage to be superior to the opponent and will leave with a positive score of this game.

In the current season, the team comes making a very strong campaign within the national championship, winning 49 of the 75 points played so far, thus fighting for the first position along with São Paulo and Palmeiras.

I believe that in this confrontation, the Internacional, being playing away from home without their starters, will end up suffering Corinthians goals and will leave with a negative score.
