Grêmio

LLDWLW

Grêmio are hoping to win again following the 3-2 Serie A success versus Palmeiras.

In that game, Grêmio had 46% possession and 20 attempts on goal with 10 of them on target. For Grêmio, the scorers were Francis Amuzu (45'), Vinícius (61') and Willian (85'). At the other end, Palmeiras had 22 attempts on goal with 6 of them on target. Facundo Torres (24') and Benedetti (90') scored for Palmeiras.

It’s been all too rare in recent games that Grêmio have shown defensive steel. The reality is that Grêmio have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 games, letting in 10 goals during that time. That sort of trend might not be sustained into this game, though.

Analysis of their past results shows that Grêmio:

• have not won against Fluminense in their previous 2 matches in the league.
• are undefeated in their previous 2 home league matches.

Fluminense

LWDWDW

Fluminense will come into the match after a 6-0 Serie A win with the defeat of São Paulo in their previous outing.

In that match, Fluminense had 57% possession and 16 attempts at goal with 11 of them on target. For Fluminense, the scorers were Agustín Canobbio (9', 77'), Martinelli (16'), Nonato (24'), Kennedy (69') and Kevin Serna (87'). On the other side, São Paulo had 5 shots at goal with 1 on target.

A tendency of at least one team not scoring a goal in games involving Fluminense has become evident recently. A glance at their last 6 games shows that it’s happened 5 times. During these clashes, their opponents have hit a goal tally of 3 and Fluminense have scored 9.

Looking at the pre-match facts, Fluminense:

• are winless against Grêmio when they've played them away from home in the last 4 league games. They really have not been travelling well at all.
• are undefeated in their last 2 league matches away from home.
• are without a win away from home in their last 6 matches in the league.

↔️ Head to head

If we look at their past head to head duels going back to 30/06/2024, there is nothing to separate the two clubs with Grêmio winning 2 of those games, Fluminense 2 and 2 being drawn after 90 minutes of play.

A total of 12 goals were scored between the two sides in this period, with 6 of them from Tricolor dos Pampas and 6 belonging to Tricolor. That is an average goals per game value of 2.

📋 Team News: Grêmio

Miguel Monsalve (Leg injury), Erick Noriega (Inner ankle ligament tear), Cristian Olivera (ankle sprain), Mathías Villasanti (Knee injury), João Pedro (Shoulder injury), Fabián Balbuena (Knee surgery), Rodrigo Ely (Cruciate ligament tear) and Martin Braithwaite (Achilles tendon surgery) will be missing for Grêmio manager Mano Menezes.

We think that Tricolor dos Pampas will probably use a 4-2-3-1 formation for this one, utilising Tiago Volpi, Marcos Rocha, Wagner Leonardo, Walter Kannemann, Marlon, Arthur, Dodi, Alysson Edward, Edenilson, Willian and André Henrique.

📋 Team News: Fluminense

Fluminense boss Luis Zubeldía has multiple availability issues to deal with. Manoel (Knee problems) and Germán Cano (Inflammation of ligaments in the knee) are not able to play.

We believe Tricolor could decide to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 formation using Fabio, Samuel Xavier, Ignacio, Juan Pablo Freytes, Rene, Gustavo Nonato, Martinelli, Kevin Serna, Luciano Acosta, Yeferson Soteldo and Everaldo.

✨ Prediction

Looking at these two, we feel that Fluminense and Grêmio could both well score here although it’s hard to see a clear-cut winner.

Will be interesting to see how this one goes, with a good chance of a draw. Therefore, we predict a very close game with a 1-1 score draw at full-time.
