In the early hours of Thursday, Internacional and Sao Paulo clash at the Estadio Jose Pinheiro Borda in Serie A as both teams look to move up the table.
The home team head into this clash on the back of a four-game unbeaten run in all competitions, including two wins and two draws.

A goalless draw against Goias last time out also means that Eduardo Coudet’s team has kept four straight clean sheets.
A big concern for Internacional is that they have failed to win in their last ten matches in Serie A.
The fact that they have been unable to score in seven of their last ten games in the Brazilian top flight has played a big role in that poor run of league results.
Internacional have failed to win in their last five home matches in the Brazilian top flight, having picked up three draws and suffered two defeats in the run.
Like their hosts, Internacional have been on a poor recent run of form, as they head into this game on the back of just one win in their last four games in all competitions.
A 1-0 home win over LDU Quito in the Copa Libertadores ended a run of three games without a win, although they exited the competition on penalties.
Sao Paulo are winless in their last six matches in Serie A, having picked up just three draws and suffered three defeats in the winless run.
Their recent league outings have also been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in four of their previous five league matches.
Sao Paulo have found away wins in short supply of late, as they have not won in ten Serie A games in their travels.
Unsurprisingly, considering the two teams' recent poor form, Forebet predicts that this encounter will produce a low-scoring draw.
