Internacional vs Corinthians prediction 07.10.2026 | Brazil Serie A

After escaping relegation by only one point last season, Internacional are in trouble again. With ten league rounds left, they are three points behind safety. Internacional have been terrible in the last two months, with only one win in their last ten games across all competitions. In the previous match, Internacional lost 1-0 on the road against Sao Paulo. Although the visitors lost, they were pretty even with the hosts, and it wouldn't be undeserved if Internacional secured one point.

After the previous round, Internacional sacked the head coach Paulo Pezzolano. In his place came Eduardo Baptista, who previously led Criciúma. The new boss already commented, "We have to be good when things are going badly. Keeping things simple is the right approach. Playing ugly is important too. If we can win while playing attractive football, great. And that's where I see Inter right now, but we need to win games. I'm not going to promise ten wins, but we're going to get the team out of this situation. I came here very hungry for success."

Internacional have some problems with missing players. They will be without Sergio Rochet, Benjamin Arhin, Kayky, Calebe, and Victor Gabriel. The good news is that Rodrigo Villagra served his suspension and could start in the upcoming Serie A tie.

Surprisingly, Corinthians are another team in danger of relegation. They are three points ahead of the drop zone and will need their best form in the final ten games of the season. However, Corinthians lost six of the previous seven matches in all competitions and urgently need to get back on the right track. In the last game before the international break, Fernando Diniz's team lost 3-1 at home against Fluminense. The hosts played solidly in attack, but another terrible defensive performance left Corinthians empty-handed. 

Andre Carrillo is with the Peruvian national team and will not play against Internacional. Corinthians are also without injured Zakaria Labyad. The good news is that Gabriel Paulista and Yuri Alberto have recovered and will travel to Porto Alegre.
