Internacional vs Cruzeiro is available to watch live via the broadcasters listed below. Fanatiz offers a live stream option for international viewers, while Premiere carries the match for audiences in Brazil.
Internacional host Cruzeiro in a Serie A fixture that finds both clubs in the bottom half of the table and in need of points. The match brings together two of Brazil’s most storied clubs at a moment when neither side can afford to drift further from safety.
Internacional arrive under Paulo Pezzolano having lost their last two Serie A matches. A 2-0 defeat to Vitoria was followed by a 3-1 loss to Red Bull Bragantino, leaving the Porto Alegre club in 14th place and facing real pressure to arrest the slide.
Creuzeiro, managed by Artur Jorge, sit one place above their opponents in 13th. They have not lost in their last five outings across all competitions, picking up wins and draws in both Serie A and the Copa Libertadores.
The visitors’ continental commitments have kept them busy. A 4-0 demolition of Barcelona SC in the Copa Libertadores was sandwiched between draws against Boca Juniors and Fluminense, showing a squad that is stretched but functional.
For Internacional, this is a chance to stop the bleeding in front of their own supporters. Three points would drag them back into a more comfortable position, though their recent defensive record will concern Pezzolano heading into the game.

Creuzeiro manager Artur Jorge is similarly without any reported absentees in the current data, and no projected XI has been confirmed. Given their Copa Libertadores schedule, squad rotation remains a possibility, though no official information is available yet.

Internacional have scored 12 goals across these five fixtures but conceded 10, pointing to a side that creates chances but struggles to keep the ball out of their own net.
Creuzeiro’s last five matches have produced one win, three draws, and one further win, giving them a record of two wins and three draws with no defeats. They drew 1-1 with Fluminense on May 31 and beat Barcelona SC 4-0 in the Copa Libertadores two days earlier.
