Internacional, Recent FormInternacional will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 2-1 winners in their away fixture against Corinthians. They achieved 51% possession in that match and had 11 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Corinthians' tally of 9 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
Manager Eduardo Coudet will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 7 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 2 clean sheets in those games.
They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
Enner Valencia will be feeling confident about adding his name to the scoresheet once more at Estádio José Pinheiro Borda, having notched up 6 goals for Internacional in their last 6 league matches at home.
Botafogo, Recent FormBotafogo manager Tiago Nunes will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 0-0 draw in his team's last league outing against Cruzeiro. They came away from that fixture with a 61% share of the possession and clocked up 16 attempts on goal with 2 on target, in comparison to Cruzeiro, who managed 7 attempts on goal, 3 of which were on target.
It's fair to say that Nunes will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 10 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games on the road.
Having drawn their last 5 and failing to win any of their last 10 league games, Estrela Solitária will be keen to grab all 3 points in this fixture.
On an individual basis, Júnior Santos will be looking to cause Internacional some problems having scored 3 goals in Botafogo's last 6 away games in the league.
Internacional suffered the disappointment of a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Botafogo the last time they met in the league.
The Estrela Solitária defence has struggled at Estádio José Pinheiro Borda, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 10 visits. When Botafogo are away to Colorado in the league, they know how to find the net, with 6 goals in their last 3 meetings and an average of 2 per game.
Inter manager Eduardo Coudet has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Matheus Dias (Thigh), Hugo Mallo (Muscle), Lucas Ramos (Knee) and Vitor Vitão (Thigh) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With both Patrick de Paula (Knee) and Rafael Pereira da Silva (Knee) being out for the rest of the season and Fernando Marçal (Foot) also unavailable in the shorter term, Botafogo manager Tiago Nunes will be relieved to have no other major fitness concerns going into this tie.
