Fluminense have made a decent start to the Serie A season in Brazil but will need to improve on their patchy away form if they're to bank three precious points against Internacional.
While Renato Gaucho's men have claimed four wins and a draw in their five home games this term, they've only come out on top once in their five road trips.
That form away from home will need to get better if they're to put in a title challenge and it won't be easy against an Internacional side who have lost just once at the Estadio Beira-Rio in Serie A this season.
What might help Fluminense is the fact Internacional were on Copa Libertadores duty in midweek, although they avoided having to travel, with that clash against fellow Brazilian side Bahia coming at home.
This is the fifth time this term Internacional have played a league game after a Copa clash and they've dropped points in three of those matches so far.
That will give Fluminense hope of claiming a rare win on the road, although the bookies still make them outsiders for this one.
How the bookies view it: More away-day woe
With Fluminense so poor on the road this term, BoyleSports make them 11/4 outsiders. Internacional are evens favourites while the draw pays 11/5.
Recent head to head: Internacional edging it
These sides have faced off 10 times in the last four years and it's Internacional who have just held the upper hand, winning four and losing three. Fluminense lost 2-0 at the Estadio Beira-Rio last term after these sides drew 1-1 in the first meeting of the campaign.
Players to watch: Prado and Serna long-odds options
Young forward Ricardo Mathias was forced off early on with an injury in Internacional's last league game and that was a big blow after two goals in as many matches. Gustavo Prado scored their equaliser in that 1-1 draw with and he's 6/1 for another goal here which looks a bit overpriced.
Colombian Kevin Serna has been in decent form of late for Fluminense, with two goals in his last four outings. He's 5/1 at Bet365 for anytime scorer which again looks a bit on the generous side.
Probable line-ups
Internacional's 1-1 draw with Sport in their last league outing was a costly affair as Mathais went off injured and midfielder Ronaldo was sent off. Both are set to miss out here along with Victor Gabriel, Enner Valencia, Johan Carbonero, Sergio Rochet, Bruno Gomes and Gabriel Mercado.
Fluimnense also have a few players sidelined with Otavio, German Kano, Facundo Bernal, Agustin Canobbio, Keno and Samuel Xavier set to miss out again.
Internacional: Anthoni, Juninho, Clayton, Bernabei, Aguirre, Romero, L Otavio, Tabata, Maia, Prado, Lucca.
Fluminense: Fabio, T Silva, Rene, Freytes, Guga, Martinelli, Hercules, Lima, Everaldo, Arias, Serna.
Anything else catch the eye?
Fluminense look a little overpriced to me, given Internacional have a few key players missing and are coming off the back of a midweek Copa Libertadores tie. The away side are 3/4 in the double chance but there's better value in backing them to win either half at 6/4 at BoyleSports.
Both games between these sides last term failed to hit double figures for corners, with an average of 7.5 across the two matches. Under 10.5 flag kicks pays 5/6 at Bet365 for this one while under four first-half corners is a bigger price at 7/4.
Both teams to score has come up in the last two at home for Internacional in Serie A and in the last four matches for Fluminense. So I'm surprised to see that bet at 11/10 with BoyleSports, which looks good value.
