Internacional vs São Paulo: Prediction and odds on the Brasileirão match on August 04, 2025

Internacional and São Paulo will meet in Porto Alegre in a match between two teams of similar strength. Both sides are unbeaten in four games and have been rising in the table.

Internacional: Form and statistics

After three consecutive league wins, the Colorado had a difficult week with two unexpected results. In the last round, Internacional drew at home with Vasco da Gama and only avoided defeat in added time. The visitors dominated the first half and deservedly took the lead through Rayan in the 30th minute. Inter settled in Vasco da Gama's midfield in the second half but struggled to create scoring opportunities. Léo Jardim, Vasco's goalkeeper, received a second yellow card in the 86th minute for feigning an injury in a controversial decision by the referee, and the Cariocas played the last minutes with ten men. The home team took advantage and equalized shortly after, avoiding what seemed like an imminent defeat. In midweek, the Gaúchos lost 2-1 at home to Fluminense in the first leg of the Copa do Brasil Round of 16.

Internacional: Lineup

Vitão is suspended for criticizing the referee after the game against Corinthians in May. The center back will be out for two games. Coach Roger Machado could make several changes to the lineup ahead of the second leg of the Copa do Brasil tie. The match against Fluminense will take place in the middle of next week, and Inter must win to qualify for the quarterfinals.

🔖Internacional starting lineup (4-3-3)

Rochet – Benítez, Clayton Sampaio, Victor Gabriel, Bernabei – Richard, Bruno Henrique, Tabata – Vitinho, Valencia, Prado

⛔️Out: Óscar Romero, Ivan, Fernando, Bruno Gomes, Drummond (injured), Vitão (suspended)

👤Head Coach: Roger Machado

São Paulo: Form and statistics

Unlike Internacional, São Paulo had a positive week with two wins, one in the league and one in the cup. Last weekend, the Paulistas defeated Fluminense at home 3-1, showing an offensive dynamism that had been hidden. The players are more confident, and the quality of play goes hand in hand with the optimism of Hernán Crespo's men. Arboleda, Ferreira, and Tapia scored the goals for the Tricolor. In midweek, São Paulo defeated Athletico Paranaense 2-1 in the first leg of the Copa do Brasil Round of 16. The result is not comfortable for the game in Curitiba. Athletico plays in the Série B but is a big club that aims to qualify for the quarterfinals. For now, it's time to focus on the tricky game against Internacional. São Paulo is in 8th place with 22 points, while Inter is in 10th with 21 points and one game in hand.

São Paulo: Lineup

Center back Alan Franco and winger Ferreirinha are suspended after receiving their third yellow cards. Wendell suffered an injury in the cup match.

🔖São Paulo starting lineup (3-5-2)

Rafael – Ferraresi, Arboleda, Sabino – Cédric, Alisson, Marcos Antônio, Bobadilla, Enzo Díaz – Luciano, André Silva

⛔️Out: Lucca, Wendell, Lucas Moura, Ryan Francisco, Oscar, Calleri, Luiz Gustavo (injured), Alan Franco, Ferreirinha (suspended)

👤Head Coach: Hernán Crespo

Internacional vs São Paulo match prediction 04 August 2025

Only one point separates Internacional and São Paulo in the table. Neither team is having a good season, but they are improving and haven't lost in four rounds. Inter has home advantage, but Roger Machado may rest some players ahead of the second leg of the Copa do Brasil knockout against Fluminense. The Gaúchos lost the first game at the Beira-Rio. If Internacional does not play at full strength, its chances of winning will diminish slightly. I'm betting on a draw.
