Internacional will host Tigres UANL in the first leg of its Copa Libertadores semifinal Wednesday.
Porte Alegre native and Tigres UANL forward Rafael Sobis is bracing himself for a hostile reception when he returns to boyhood club Internacional.
Internacional welcomes the big-spending Mexicans club to the Estadio Jose Pinheiro Borda for Wednesday's Copa Libertadores semifinal first leg in the Brazilian city of Porto Alegre.
Tigres' trip to South America marks a return for Brazilian Sobis, who emerged from Inter's youth ranks in 2004 and spent two-and-a-half years at the club before moving to Real Betis.
The 30-year-old later returned to Inter on loan from Al-Jazira in 2010-11.
