Internacional v Palmeiras: early-season lift meets top-six push in the Brasileirão | OneFootball

Internacional host Palmeiras in the Brasileirão on Friday, 13 February 2026 at Estádio José Pinheiro Borda in Porto Alegre, with the hosts aiming to climb from 16th and the visitors looking to consolidate a top-six start.

Palmeiras have four points from two league games and sit sixth. Internacional have one point from two. In recent league meetings, Palmeiras won two of the last three, including a 4-1 home victory in September 2025.

Colorado have three wins in their last five across competitions and drew at Flamengo in the league last time out. Verdão, meanwhile, opened with a 2-2 draw at Atlético Mineiro before a 5-1 win over Vitória, part of three wins in their last five overall.

Inter are without midfielder Richard. Palestra travel minus Felipe Anderson and Paulinho, while Figueiredo is sidelined until 25 February.

Verdão have scored seven league goals in two games, so their attack could test Colorado's defence, which has conceded twice and scored once so far. At home, Inter may look to keep things tight and strike when opportunities arise.

A win would move Inter to four points and could pull them towards mid-table and away from the early relegation picture. Victory for Verdão would take them to seven points and may nudge them towards the Libertadores places, while a draw would keep Palestra in the chasing pack.
