Away from home, Santos have not beaten Internacional for over 12 years | OneFootball

Needing to secure three points to distance themselves from the danger of falling back into the relegation zone, Santos will have to break a major taboo against Internacional this Monday, starting at 9:00 PM (Brasília time). The match will be held at Estádio Beira-Rio, so Peixe will be the away team against the Gaúchos. In this situation, the Alvinegro Praiano has not beaten Colorado as visitors for over 12 years.

The last time Santos defeated Internacional as visitors was on September 10, 2013, in a match valid for the tenth round of that year’s Brasileirão. Peixe won 2-1, with goals from Thiago Ribeiro and Renato Abreu.

Another taboo that Santos will need to break to leave Beira-Rio with three points lies in their overall record against Internacional. The Alvinegro has not beaten the Gaúcho team since November 14, 2020, over five years ago. On that day, Santos won 2-0 with goals from Ivonei and Kaio Jorge, who is currently the top scorer in the Brasileirão for Cruzeiro.

Since that match, the teams have faced each other seven more times, with three wins for Inter and four draws. The last time they met at Beira-Rio, in 2023, there was a historic thrashing by the Gaúchos, 7-1.

Two years later…

Now, in a situation similar to 2023, Santos returns to visit Internacional in Porto Alegre, this time with the promise of an even tougher match, since Colorado is also fighting to avoid the relegation zone.

With 40 points in 34 games, Internacional is in 15th place in the Brazilian Championship, three points ahead of 16th place Santos. Whoever wins will make their opponent’s fight against relegation even more difficult.
