Internacional will face Delfin at the Estadio Beira-Rio on Sunday in the final round of the 2024 Copa Sudamericana group stage campaign. The home side have had mixed results on the continental stage this season but will advance to the knockout stages of the tournament with a win on Sunday.
They beat Real Tomayapo 2-0 in their last match, with Bruno Gomes opening the scoring in the first half before former Bayer Leverkusen man Lucas Alario doubled their advantage late in the game.
Delfin have not fared much better than their weekend opponents in the Copa Sudamericana, although they need just a point on Sunday to advance to the qualification playoffs. They beat Real Tomayapo 4-3 last time out in the competition and perhaps deserved to win by a more comfortable margin but were guilty of wasteful finishing.
