Palmeiras vs Internacional Prediction: The Paulistas must stay focused

Palmeiras vs Internacional: Prediction and odds on the Brasileirão match on September 14, 2025

Palmeiras hosts Internacional a few days before facing River Plate in Argentina for the Copa Libertadores. The Paulistas are in third place, four points behind leader Flamengo, and risk losing points to Internacional if they are planning to save energy for the game in Buenos Aires.

Palmeiras: Form and statistics

Palmeiras drew 1-1 away against rival Corinthians in the last round. In theory, a draw at the Neo Química Arena is not a bad result, but Abel Ferreira's team could very well have won the match. The Verdão scored in the 14th minute through Vitor Roque from the penalty spot. Charles fouled Flaco López inside the area, and the referee awarded a penalty. Corinthians' response was quick, and the home team equalized in the 26th minute. Following a free kick, Garro crossed into the box, Gustavo Henrique headed towards the six-yard box, and the ball deflected off Piquerez into the net. In the second half, Palmeiras took control of the game and settled in Corinthians' midfield. Despite intense pressure from the visitors, the result ended in a draw. As Flamengo drew at home with Grêmio, the points difference to first place remained unchanged.

Palmeiras: Lineup

Palmeiras will face River Plate in the Copa Libertadores next week, but it looks like Abel Ferreira will field his best team against Internacional.

🔖Palmeiras starting lineup (4-3-3)

Weverton – Khellven, Gómez, Murilo, Piquerez – Moreno Lucas Evangelista, Maurício – Felipe Anderson, Flaco López, Vitor Roque

⛔️Out: Paulinho (injured)

👤Head Coach: Abel Ferreira

Internacional: Form and statistics

The Colorado defeated Fortaleza 2-1 at home, breaking a streak of four consecutive defeats, two in the league and two in the Copa Libertadores. Three of these four losses were against Flamengo, currently the best team in Brazil, which somewhat mitigates the poor results. Internacional started the game well against Fortaleza, creating several scoring opportunities. It was therefore no surprise when the home team scored in the 24th minute. Captain Alan Patrick converted a penalty to put Inter ahead. However, shortly afterwards, Fortaleza equalized through Lucca Prior in the 31st minute. The Gaúchos started the second half determined and regained the lead with a goal from Vitinho in the 51st minute. Internacional controlled the game until the end but missed a few chances to make it 3-1. The Cearenses only threatened Rochet's goal once, but almost scored because VAR had to confirm that the ball did not enter Inter's goal. Roger Machado's team moved up to 10th place with 27 points.

Internacional: Lineup

Borré is injured, and Enner Valencia has signed for Pachuca, so Ricardo Mathias is likely to be Roger Machado's choice up front.

🔖Internacional starting lineup (4-3-3)

Rochet – Aguirre, Vitão, Juninho, Victor Gabriel – Thiago Maia, Alan Rodríguez, Alan Patrick – Vitinho, Ricardo Mathias, Carbonero

⛔️Out: Borré, Ronaldo, Mercado, Ivan, Bruno Gomes (injured)

👤Head Coach: Roger Machado

Palmeiras vs Internacional match prediction 14 September 2025

Palmeiras is having a solid season, despite not having a flashy style of play. Abel Ferreira's team is pragmatic above all else, and at the end of the day, that's what matters most in football. On the other hand, Internacional is disappointing its fans, who expected to see their team much higher in the standings. Inter finished fifth last season, but this year things are not going well. In any case, the Porto Alegre team has good players and could cause Palmeiras some problems. I think Palmeiras should win, but I'm going to bet that both teams will score.
