12/09/2024 1:30 am
Fortaleza will be looking to reclaim first place in the Brasileiro Serie A table when they face Internacional at Estadio Jose Pinheiro Borda on Thursday.
Leao do Pici are two points behind Botafogo for the league lead after suffering a 2-0 defeat against them in the previous game, while Colorado are 10th following a 3-1 victory over Juventude.
Roger Machado’s side are unbeaten in their last five competitive matches at home, winning their previous two games at Estadio Jose Pinheiro Borda by a single goal.
Throughout the 2024 Brasileiro Serie A campaign, Internacional have been consistently sharp on the back end, conceding the joint-fewest goals in the league so far (19).
Internaciocal have picked up 32 points after 22 top-flight matchdays, six fewer than they managed at this same stage of the previous domestic campaign.
Leading the league by a single point heading into their previous game, Fortaleza looked flat against Botafogo, registering just one effort on target throughout the 90 minutes.
Ultimately, Botafogo made them pay, scoring twice in the final 17 minutes to bump them back down to second position, although Juan Pablo Vojvoda’s side have a game in hand.
That defeat to Botafogo ended a 12-game unbeaten streak for them across all competitions as they suffered their first loss in league play since early July (2-0 to Vasco da Gama).
