Vitória v Internacional: home strength meets Sudamericana push | OneFootball

Vitória host Internacional in the Brasileirão at Estádio Manoel Barradas on Saturday, 23 May 2026, with mid-table movement and Sudamericana ambitions in play.

Vitória and Internacional split the league meetings in 2024 and 2025, each winning their home fixture, so the venue could matter again in Salvador.

Leão da Barra have three wins in their last five in all competitions, including a 4-1 home victory over Coritiba and a Copa do Brasil win against Flamengo. Colorado are unbeaten in five across competitions, highlighted by a 4-1 against Vasco da Gama and a 2-0 over Fluminense.

Nêgo are without Riccieli, Pedro Henrique, Camatunga, Dudu, Ismael and Mateus Silva through injury, while Zé Vitor is suspended. Inter miss Sergio Rochet, Thiago Maia and Paulinho through injury, with Johan Carbonero banned and Alan Jesus Rodriguez Guaglianoni also sidelined.

With five home wins and only three goals conceded at Manoel Barradas, Leão da Barra may try to lean on their defensive solidity. Inter have collected 10 away points and recently hit four past Vasco, so the visitors could back their attack on the road.

A win would take Leão da Barra to 22 points and could move them further from the relegation places. Victory would lift Inter to 24 points and strengthen their Copa Sudamericana push, while a draw would keep both clustered in mid-table.
