Fixture between Internacional RS and Fortaleza is shaping up to be one of those affairs where recent results flies out the window. Kicking off
Internacional RS’s been hot and cold, their displays yo-yoing from classy to head-scratching. Meanwhile, Fortaleza’s grinding through a slump, their rearguard looking shaky.

In terms of the Serie A, this fixture carries greater importance.

Still, there’s something about this one—maybe, it’s the game where somebody steps up.
