DLDWLW ⚖

Grêmio, who won their previous game, will hope for a similar result following a 2-0 Copa do Brasil victory vs Confiança.

In that match, Grêmio had 69% possession and 22 shots on goal with 7 on target. For Grêmio, the goals were scored by Vinícius (56') and Francis Amuzu (71'). For their opponents, Confiança got 4 attempts at goal with 0 on target.

Their latest results shine a light on the fact that much respect should be given to the Grêmio defence. Grêmio have been stingy, with the tally of goals that have gone in at their end during their previous six matches standing at 3. We will have to find out if that trend will be continued on into this next match.

Analysis of their past results shows that Grêmio:

• haven't lost in the league to Coritiba in their last 6 games.
• are unbeaten in their previous 5 league matches at home.

Coritiba

In their previous game, Coritiba drew 0-0 in the Copa do Brasil tie with Santos.

In that match, Coritiba managed 45% possession and 9 attempts on goal with 2 of them on target. Santos had 13 attempts on goal with 1 of them on target.

Over the course of 5 of the previous 6 games featuring Coritiba, a notably low volume of goals have been hit between them and opposing sides. The overall average goals scored per game in that period comes to a meagre 2.17, with the number of goals averaged by Coxa standing at 1.17.

Going into this game, the form guide shows that Coritiba:

• haven't won against Grêmio in away games against them for the last 5 league games. Not the best of away records.
• are without a win away from home in their last 2 league matches.

🤜🤛 Head to head

Delving into their past head to head meetings stretching back to 23/06/2017 shows that these encounters have not been good ones for Coritiba. They have not managed to register any victories at all while Grêmio have managed to find a way, running out winners in 83 per cent of those games played.

17 goals were produced between them throughout the course of those matches, with 13 from Tricolor dos Pampas and 4 netted by Coxa. That’s an average goals per game figure of 2.83.

The last league contest between these sides was Serie A match day 31 on 01/11/2023 and the score finished Coritiba 1-2 Grêmio.

On that day, Coritiba had 52% possession and 12 shots on goal with 2 on target. Their only player on the scoresheet was Robson (60').

For their opponents, Grêmio had 19 shots on goal with 4 of them on target. Mathías Villasanti (27') and Ferreira (83') scored.

The match was refereed by Marcelo de Lima Henrique.

📰 Team News: Grêmio

Marlon (Broken ankle), Mathías Villasanti (Knee injury), João Pedro (Muscle injury), Walter Kannemann (muscular problems) and Willian (Hamstring injury) are not available for Grêmio boss Luís Castro. Gustavo Martins will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.

In all likelihood, Tricolor dos Pampas will probably make use of the 4-2-3-1 system this time and select Weverton, Cristian Pavón, Fabian Balbuena, Viery Fernandes, Pedro Gabriel, Juan Ignacio Nardoni, Arthur, José Enamorado, Gabriel Mec, Francis Amuzu and Carlos Vinícius.

📰 Team News: Coritiba

Coritiba boss Fernando Seabra has some current player fitness concerns. Pedro Morisco (Shoulder injury), Benassi (Broken toe), Rodrigo Rodrigues (Torn ankle ligaments) and Keno (Knee problems) won’t be making appearances. Players who are serving a ban and are therefore ineligible to play are Renato Marques and Sebastián Gómez.

We’re of the thinking that Coxa seem most likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 formation, giving starts to Pedro Rangel, Tinga, Maicon, Jacy, Felipe Jonatan, Vini Paulista, Wallisson, Lucas Ronier, Josué, Breno Lopes and Pedro Rocha.

✨ Prediction

In our opinion, Coritiba will really need to work well to hit the back of the net against this Grêmio side who we think will likely gain the upper hand.

We’re therefore predicting a 1-0 win for Grêmio when the referee blows for full-time.

Let’s see how this one goes.
