Internacional will head into the Brazilian Serie A game against Vitoria this weekend on the back of a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Atletico-MG away from home in the league. It came after a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Fluminense in front of their fans, which followed a 2-1 victory over Bahia at the CONMEBOL Libertadores.
