Internacional will play host to Sao Paulo in their round 23 match of the Brazilian Serie A on Friday. The two sides are two points apart, Internacional 14th with 26 points while Sao Paulo are 11th on 28 points. Internacional seems to have thrown more weight on continental action than domestic. They are set to play in the Copa Libertadores semi finals, while in Serie A they are clearly struggling. The hosts are unbeaten in their last four matches, winning two of them – both wins were in the Copa Libertadores. In Serie A, they last won a game in June. Coming into this match they are without a win in 10 straight league matches. They have failed to score in each of the last three league matches but have five clean sheets in 10. At home in the league, they’ve also failed to score in three of five matches and haven't won in five. Seven of their last 10 league matches have had under 2.5 goals, six ending in draws.

Sao Paulo will return to action for the first time since their elimination from the Copa Sudamericana at the quarterfinals. Like Internacional, they too threw a lot of weight on the continental assignments. They are still in the Copa do Brasil though. Sao Paulo come into this game without a win in their last four matches. They’ve lost each of the last three games after an earlier draw with Botafogo. For the visitors, the attack remains an area of concern, having scored more than once in just two of 10 games. They however have four clean sheets in 10 and conceded more than once in just three of the 10 games. Eight of their last 10 matches ended in under 2.5 goals. In Serie A action, Sao Paulo have no wins in six matches, three of them ending in draws. Away from home, they have no win in 10 league games, drawing half of them.
