Preview: Corinthians vs. Internacional - prediction, team news, lineups

Sports Mole previews Sunday's Brasileiro clash between Corinthians and Internacional, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

Currently sat mid-table in the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A, Corinthians and Internacional will be looking to claim all three points on Saturday and climb closer to the top four.

The visitors have claimed seven of their nine points so far this campaign on the road, while the hosts have only won one of their opening four league matches on home soil.

Corinthians claimed their fourth league draw in six matches after playing out a goalless draw at home to Sao Paulo on Thursday.

The best chance of the game came for Corinthians, 15 minutes into the first half, when Gil's header hit the post before Mateus Vital's follow-up shot was saved low down by goalkeeper Tiago Volpi.

In a disappointing second half, both sides failed to test the goalkeepers and they were eventually forced to share to spoils.

That result saw Sylvinho's men climb one place up to 10th in the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A table, five points behind Fortaleza in fourth.

Corinthians, who are unbeaten in their last 10 league meetings on home soil against Internacional, could move up to fifth in the table if they were to claim all three points on Saturday.

Internacional are still searching for their first home victory of the campaign after suffering a 2-1 defeat against 10-man Palmeiras on Wednesday.

The visitors took the lead just nine minutes in when Deyverson instinctively tapped the ball into the net after Raphael Veiga fired a strike towards goal. Palmeiras held onto their lead until the 65th minute when Edenilson converted from the penalty spot, after Benjamin Kuscevic was dismissed for pushing Caio Vidal inside the area.

Internacional rarely created any clear-cut chances after scoring their equaliser and failed to take advantage of the extra man, eventually conceding in the 89th minute when Danilo's tap-in looped over goalkeeper Daniel.

Diego Aguirre's side have slipped down to 14th after that defeat, four points above the relegation zone and one point behind Saturday's opponents Corinthians.

Internacional have failed to score in each of their last four meetings against Corinthians, but if they can find the net and claim all three points this weekend, they could climb as high as fifth in the table.
