In-depth Analysis
After suffering three consecutive defeats late last month, Ceara have bounced back impressively. Their recent 1-0 away win over Corinthians means they have now secured three victories in their last five matches in all competitions. In the Brazilian league alone, they have earned 7 points from their last three rounds.
On the other side, Internacional RS disappointed once again. Despite taking a 2-0 lead at home against Bahia, they allowed the visitors to equalize 2-2, with the second goal coming in the 93rd minute.
This painful draw extended Internacional’s winless streak to five matches, leaving them only two points above the relegation zone (37 compared to 35).
Facing an out-of-form Internacional RS is a golden opportunity for Ceara to break their negative run against this opponent. A victory would hand Internacional RS their first defeat in the last eight meetings between the two clubs.
