Internacional, with ex-Corinthians boss, held by relegation struggler | OneFootball

Corinthians and Internacional meet again this Wednesday, October 1st, for the second round of the Brasileirão, in the 26th round. The match kicks off at Beira-Rio, in Porto Alegre, at 7:30 PM (Brasília time), with the team from the south coming off a draw against a team from the relegation zone and with a familiar face in the technical area.

The match between Internacional and Juventude, which ended 1-1, marked the debut of Ramón and Emiliano Díaz at the helm of the southern club. Now, they will play their first match as the club's commanders at Beira-Rio, precisely against Corinthians, the club they became champions with at the beginning of the season.

Besides the commanding duo, Internacional also has another factor that might trouble Corinthians. Midfielder Bruno Henrique, one of the club's captains, is a former Timão player and might invoke the famous 'law of the ex', a feared tactic in Brazilian football.

Both teams treat this duel as a direct confrontation. Corinthians is in 14th place, with 29 points, while Internacional is one spot below, with 28 points. A draw is unlikely to change the standings, but a victory for either side could complicate the loser's situation.
