Santos head into this game after a positive week and they would be looking to get yet another good result here as Internacional visits them.
Just a week ago, it appeared as if Jair Ventura would lose his job as Santos manager after a really poor start to the season. But his players have relieved some of the pressure by beating Victoria 5-2 before earning a respectable 1-1 draw against Corinthians in their last game.
The hosts are still 15th on the league table, although they have a game in hand. A poor result in this game could see the fans turn on the manager again, and that would be on the minds of their players when they take to the field in this game.
Internacional, on the other hand, have made a strong return to the top flight after playing last season in the Brazilian second division. They currently have 16 points from ten games and they would be eager to make that better in this game.
Internacional are, however, not the best travellers as they have won just one in seven away games, and four of those matches have ended in defeats for them.
The sides last met in 2016, with Santos beating Internacional 2-1 in their home leg of a Brazilian Cup clash but eventually going out after losing 2-0 away from home.
