There is a quick turnaround for some teams in the Brasileiro Serie A and we have just one team in the league without a victory.
The match between Vitoria and Internacional will be played on the 16th of June at the Estádio Manoel Barradas. The hosts begin this round of fixtures bottom of the table on 3 points while the visitors are in 10th place on 11 points.
Vitoria come into the game having picked up a point thanks to a 1-1 draw at Juventude in the Brasileiro Serie A. It was a good point for Vitoria who fell a goal behind in the 34th minute but scored the equaliser shortly before halftime.
The draw at Juventude means Vitoria are undefeated in their 2 most recent league fixtures. They also picked up a point at Cuiaba in a 0-0 draw but have failed to win a match in the Brasileiro Serie A this season.
You must go back to the Baiano 1 match against Bahia on the 31st of March to find the last time Vitoria won a game.

They have failed to win any of their last 11 home Brasileiro Serie A games and have lost 3 of their last 4 league fixtures on home soil. Vitoria have failed to score a goal in 3 of their last 5 home league matches.
Internacional travel to the Estádio Manoel Barradas on the back of a 0-0 draw at home with Sao Paulo in the Brasileiro Serie A.
Internacional will be disappointed they did not manage to have a single shot on target during the 90 minutes but it was a respectable point against the team currently in 5th place.
The draw with Sao Paulo means Internacional are undefeated in their 4 most recent fixtures in all competitions. There have been wins at Real Tomayapo and at home over Delfin in the Copa Sudamericana plus a 1-0 victory at Cuiaba in the Brasileiro Serie A.
Trends show Internacional are undefeated in 9 of their last 10 league games and have seen under 2.5 goals in their last 5 matches in Brasileiro Serie A.
Internacional are in good form on the road in the Brasileiro A and have won 4 of their last 5 away trips in the league. Internacional have kept a clean sheet 3 of their 5 most recent away league games.
Team news and Vitoria have a significant injury list for this match, including Daniel Júnior, Dudu, Iury Castilho, Bruno Uvini, Leo Gamalho, Mateus Gonçalves, Rodrigo Andrade, and Everaldo.
Internacional make the trip without Rafael Borre, Enner Valencia, and Sergio Rochet who are on international duty. Gabriel Mercado is suspended while Lucas Alario, Mauricio, and Ivan are injured.
Given the recent lack of goals in games involving both teams it comes as no surprise to see our algorithm predict under 2.5 goals for this match.
In fact, it could take just a single goal to win and with Internacional being the form team, it is the visitors who could take maximum points.
