Internacional vs Corinthians

Internacional face Corinthians in Serie A on Wednesday 7 October 2026 at Estádio Beira Rio in Porto Alegre, with the visiting side arriving on a five-match losing streak.

Corinthians have lost five consecutive league games

Corinthians have suffered defeat in each of their last five Serie A outings. Their slide includes 2-1 losses against Coritiba, Chapecoense, and Flamengo, a 1-0 home reverse against Santos, and most recently a 3-1 home defeat to Fluminense on 20 September 2026. That run has left Corinthians 14th in the table on 32 points from 28 matches, with a goal difference of -3. Over their last five games with chance data, Corinthians have created 1.28 expected goals per game while allowing 1.52. Top scorer Rodrigo Garro leads the club with three goals in all competitions this season.

Six missing for Internacional as they fight the drop

Internacional sit 18th in Serie A with 28 points from 28 matches, carrying a goal difference of -6 after scoring 30 and conceding 36. At Estádio Beira Rio, they have won three, drawn five, and lost six of their 14 league fixtures. Their recent results show one win in five, secured 2-1 away at Chapecoense on 12 September 2026, alongside three defeats and a 0-0 draw with Atlético Mineiro. They generate 0.77 expected goals per game while conceding 1.15 based on recent data. Top scorer Johan Carbonero has seven goals in all competitions, but Internacional enter this fixture without six players: Victor Gabriel is suspended, while Sergio Rochet, Antonio Sanabria, Benjamin Arhin, Calebe, and Kayky are out injured.

André Carrillo away as head-to-head favours hosts

Corinthians have personnel absences of their own. André Carrillo is away on international duty, while Kayke and Zakaria Labyad are sidelined by injury, and André Ramalho remains doubtful. Corinthians have won three, drawn five, and lost five of their 13 away league fixtures this season. The recent head-to-head record leans toward Internacional, who beat Corinthians 1-0 in their most recent meeting on 5 April 2026 and also took a 1-0 victory in June 2024.

Our model leans towards an Internacional win

Our forecasting model leans narrowly towards an Internacional win. Corinthians have failed to take a point across five matches dating back to late August, while Internacional already hold a 1-0 victory over them from earlier in the season, even as both sides grapple with extensive injury lists.
