After a 10-day break, Internacional return to the Brazilian top flight looking to extend their three-match unbeaten run in the competition.
Roger Machado's side are unbeaten in their last five home games, winning their last two at the Estadio Jose Pinheiro Borda by a single goal.
Throughout the 2024 Brasileiro Serie A campaign, they have been consistently sharp at the back, conceding the fewest goals in the league so far (19).
Internacional have not lost a domestic fixture this year when they have scored multiple times, winning their last two such encounters.
After 22 rounds of top-flight matches, they have 32 points, six fewer than at the same stage of the previous campaign.
They have won three of their last four home games in this competition against Fortaleza, the last of which came on the second matchday of the 2022 campaign.
Leading the standings by a single point at the time of their last meeting, Fortaleza looked flat against Botafogo, managing just one shot on target in the entire 90 minutes.
Eventually, Fogo made them pay, scoring twice in the final 17 minutes to push them back into second place, although Juan Pablo Vojvoda's men still have a game in hand.
The defeat ended a 12-match unbeaten run in all competitions and was their first league loss since early July, when they were beaten 2-0 by Vasco da Gama.
The Ceara outfit have suffered the fewest losses in the Brasileiro Serie A this year, failing to score in all four of their defeats in the competition.
They have won 11 consecutive matches in the competition when they have scored first, most recently a 1-0 win over Corinthians at the end of August.
Fortaleza have taken points in three successive league meetings with Internacional, winning their last away game a season ago 1-0.
Internacional possible starting lineup:
Anthoni; B. Gomes, I. Gomes, Vitao, Bernabei; Romulo, Maia; Carvalho, Patrick, Tabata; Alario
Fortaleza possible starting lineup:
Ricardo; Britez, Kuscevic, Cardona, Pacheco; Hercules, Sasha; Lopes, Pochettino, Pikachu; Lucero
