Game Information

12/07/2025 – Kick Off (20:30 GMT)

Internacional
Internacional have endured a disastrous start to their 2025 Brasileirão campaign. From 12 matches, they’ve managed just two wins, alongside five draws and five defeats. They currently sit in the bottom four and will be desperate to turn things around.

Due to the Club World Cup break, they’ve had some time to regroup and work on improving performances. They’ll now be hoping that time off has helped reset the squad, as they aim to rediscover their best form. In their last league outing, they faced Atlético Mineiro away and fell to a second consecutive 2-0 defeat. An own goal from Vitão and a late strike from Junior Santos sealed the result for the hosts.

Internacional will be desperate to get back on track and avoid being dragged into a relegation battle, as Fluminense were last season. They’ve already shown their quality in the Copa Libertadores, having successfully qualified from their group, but the focus now must shift back to domestic matters. With pressure mounting, climbing the table has to become their top priority.

Vitória
Unlike Internacional, Vitória have seen some action during the Club World Cup break, though it came in just one outing, a Copa do Nordeste clash against Confiança. That match ended in frustration, as they suffered a shock defeat following a last-minute winner from Rafinha. With their hopes of a Nordeste title now dashed, Vitória will be desperate to bounce back and refocus on the league.

In the Brasileirão, they currently sit 16th, just above the relegation zone on goal difference. From their 12 matches, they’ve picked up two wins, five draws, and five losses. The northeastern side know they need to improve quickly if they’re to avoid being dragged into a survival battle.

Their most recent league match ended in a nil-nil draw with Cruzeiro. While not the most eye-catching performance, it was a solid and dogged defensive display that earned them a valuable point against one of the league’s title contenders. That kind of grit will be needed again as they look to stabilise their form and climb the table.

Prediction – Internacional 2-1 Vitória
