Santos v Internacional: mid-table push meets survival fight | OneFootball

Santos host Internacional in the Brasileirão on 19 March 2026 at Estádio Urbano Caldeira, with the hosts eyeing a lift from the lower half and the visitors bottom of the table and desperate to spark their season.

History points to tight margins: eight of the last 16 league meetings ended level. The sides drew 1–1 in November 2025, while Internacional won 2–1 away in July 2025.

Peixe are unbeaten in three league games, with one win and two draws, and have scored and conceded in all three home matches. Inter are winless in the league this season, drawing twice and losing four times, and they've failed to score in their last two league outings.

Alvinegro Praiano are without Zé Rafael (injury), Luan Peres (suspended), Gabriel Bontempo (injury) and Vinicius Lira (injury), trimming defensive and midfield options. Colorado travel without Paulinho through suspension.

Peixe's matches have been open, with nine scored and 11 conceded across six, while Inter have managed only three goals in the same span. The hosts could look to extend their recent home scoring run, whereas Inter may prioritise a compact shape and try to add to two away draws already banked.

A win would move Peixe to nine points and could nudge them towards mid-table security. Inter would rise to five points with victory and may climb off the bottom, edging closer to the safety line in the relegation fight.
