Match highlights
PremiumMatch analysis
Only two places and five points separate Sao Paulo from Internacional at the wrong end of Brazil's Serie A table, and Superior's model expects that gap to show on 20 September at 1-0, with 1-1 next in line. Internacional sit 18th with 11 games left to beat the drop.
One win in five for a side fighting the drop
Internacional have won just one of their last five matches, a 2-1 trip to Chapecoense sandwiched between league defeats to Santos, Gremio and Bahia, and they sit 18th in Brazil's Serie A on 28 points with 11 games left to beat the drop. Sao Paulo have their own relegation worries at 11th on 33 points, but they're unbeaten in their last three matches at home, with wins over Atletico-MG (2-0) and RB Bragantino (2-1) either side of a draw with Boca Juniors, enough home form for the model to lean toward a home goal standing up.
A repeat of April's 1-1 has happened before
The last three meetings between these sides have gone 1-1, 3-0 and 1-2, so history offers no fixed pattern here. Internacional's only win in five came with two goals, and if Sao Paulo's own defence slips the way it did in Sunday's 0-2 loss at Palmeiras, the 1-1 that Superior lists as the alternative becomes the more likely outcome instead of a clean 1-0.
