Already ranked among the top 16 teams in the D Series, the Inter de Lages is four games away from the long-awaited access to Serie C. However, the next opponent is Ituano, certainly one of the teams appointed as one of the candidates to rise. The dates of the two clashes against the São Paulo team were set on Wednesday night (3) by CBF. The trip will be in Lages, on Monday (15), at 20h, while the return takes place on Saturday (20), at 15h, in Itu (SP).

Before reaching the octaves, the Colorado Lageano had to go through Caxias and surprised the gaucho team with a victory in Rio Grande do Sul 2-1. In the return game, at Tio Vida, he managed to hold the momentum of Caxias and the game stayed at 0 to 0.

The classification to the round of 16 of the D series assures Inter of a historic fact: 2020 is the year in which the team will play the greatest number of games in this century. The two confrontations against Ituano will make Inter complete 30 matches in the year. This mark has not been reached since the first half of the 90s. The mark shows the difficulties faced by the club in recent years, in which it had to dispute lower divisions of Santa Catarina football or even be inactive due to financial problems and therefore had a calendar for much of the year.
