In the Brasileirão, Internacional's performance has been relatively stable, with victories interspersed with losses. They aim for a Copa Libertadores spot, though their recent 1-1 draw with Fluminense marked their third consecutive match without a win.

In the last round, they secured a 2-0 victory over Fortaleza.
