Internacional hosts Palmeiras in a highly anticipated Brazil Serie A encounter at Estádio Beira-Rio. Both teams have started the season strongly, with Palmeiras sitting second in the league with seven points from three games, while Internacional is close behind with five points from three matches. This fixture promises to be a tightly contested battle between two of Brazil’s top sides.​

Internacional enters the match unbeaten in their last 17 competitive outings, showcasing their defensive solidity with clean sheets in their last three matches. Their recent form includes a goalless draw against Fortaleza and a convincing 3-0 victory over Atlético Nacional in the Copa Libertadores. At home, they have been formidable, winning eight of their last ten matches. ​

Palmeiras, on the other hand, has also been impressive, winning their last four matches across all competitions. Their recent victories include a 2-0 win over Corinthians and a 1-0 triumph against Cerro Porteño in the Copa Libertadores. Notably, they have remained unbeaten in their last ten away games, highlighting their resilience on the road.

Historically, encounters between these two teams have been evenly matched. Their last meeting ended in a 1-1 draw, and with both sides displaying strong defensive records this season—each conceding just once in the league so far—a low-scoring draw seems a plausible outcome.

Prediction: Draw
