Santos FC vs Internacional Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Brasileiro Serie A 2025

Colorada dominated the proceedings against SFC when these teams last met.

Santos FC are ready to take on Internacional in match week 16 of the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A 2025 edition. The interesting contest between these Brazilian clubs will take place at the Urbano Caldeira Stadium.

Santos FC will be at home and they will surely be looking to use it to their advantage. They will still be under pressure as they are coming in after facing a dominating loss against Mirassol in their last Brazilian Serie A game. Neymar and company continue to face issues as they weren’t able to score any goals and on top of that, they defended poorly.

Internacional on the other hand, have performed comparatively better than Santos this season. They are in 12th place on the Campeonato Serie A points table.

Colorada are coming in after securing a win and three points against Ceara in their last league game. They will have a chance to secure another three points, but it is not going to be an easy task for them.

Players to Watch

Neymar (Santos FC)

Even though he was unable to score a goal in the previous game for Santos FC, Neymar remains one of their most important players. The Brazilian star continues to find his form. He has only been able to score a single goal in six league appearances, but with the ball at his feet, he continues to cause problems for the opponent’s defence.

Alan Patrick (Internacional)

Alan Patrick remains one of the most consistent players for Internacional this season. In 11 Brazilian Serie A appearances, the 34-year-old has seven goal involvements and plays a crucial part in controlling the midfield for his team. With better midfield control, they might even outplay their opponents here.
