Internacional and Mirassol face off this Sunday (19) at Beira-Rio stadium in Porto Alegre.
The match, valid for the 12th round of the Brazilian Championship, will be broadcast live on the Premiere channel.
Colorado sits in 14th place (13 points) and is defending a five-match unbeaten run, coming off a draw in the Gre-Nal.
The big challenge for Paulo Pezzolanoโs team is to break its poor run at Beira-Rio, as it is tied for the worst home record in the championship.
Meanwhile, the Sรฃo Paulo side is stuck at the bottom of the Brasileirรฃo table (6 points) and comes into the match on a run of six straight defeats in the competition, in addition to a recent setback in the Libertadores.
The focus now is to begin an immediate recovery to escape the relegation zone.
Inter will have problems in defense: Mercado and Bernabei are suspended, forcing Victor Gabriel into central defense and Bruno Gomes to fill in at left-back.
On Mirassolโs side, head coach Rafael Guanaes and midfielder Eduardo are serving suspensions after a commotion in the last round; the team will be led by assistant coach Ivan Baitello.
The team will have the return of starters who were rested midweek, but it lost forward Negueba due to a serious injury.
