Internacional vs Santos Predictions, Lineups & Betting Tips

Internacional host Santos in matchday 35 of the Brasileiro Serie A, in what could be described as a relegation battle.

Despite the two sides sitting outside of the relegation zone, they occupy the final two safety spots and are just one and four points away from the drop respectively.

Internacional are in 15th, on 40 points and with five points in their last five games - a win here could see them move seven points clear of the drop with only three to play.

Santos are only one point above 17th-placed Vitoria, so a win here is vital if they are to avoid relegation in their first season back in the Serie A.

We're predicting Internacional to win.

Key Players to Watch

Alan Patrick (Internacional) has nine goals and six assists in 26 games from midfield. The 34-year-old also has 87% pass accuracy plus 3.4 ball recoveries per game.

Neymar (Santos) hasn't been able to replicate the form he once showed across Europe or even back in the early 2010s for his boyhood club - he only has four goals - but who knows what he will be capable of in such a high stakes clash.
