This game would be one of the biggest of the week in Brazil as Sao Paolo play host to Internacional.<\/p>\n
The home side just suffered their first loss of the season and this game offers them the chance to bounce back to winning ways, but that would be easier said than done.<\/p>\n
That first loss did hurt more because it came at the hands of their archrival Palmeiras, but confidence is still high in their camp as they have made a good start to the season with 16 points collected from their last 9 games, and they come into this game sitting in the 4th position on the league table. They are also unbeaten in their last 11 games at home.<\/p>\n
Internacional are also not doing badly themselves and they come into this game just a point below their host. For a team that has just been promoted to the first division that is not a bad position to be.<\/p>\n
They won their last away game, but that does not mean they do well when they travel as they have lost four of their last six away games and could not even score in five of those games. They come into this game having failed to win Sporting Recife at the weekend at home.<\/p>\n
Sao Paulo have lost just 1 of the last 7 meetings between the two, winning 3 times in the process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
