Grêmio
DLDWWW 📈
Grêmio will want to continue from where they left off last time out with the 0-2 Serie A success against Juventude.
In that game, Grêmio managed 44% possession and 18 shots at goal with 9 of them on target. For Grêmio, goals were scored by Martin Braithwaite (13') and Cristian Olivera (38'). For their opponents, Juventude had 14 attempts on goal with 5 on target.
Their most recent results really do illustrate the point that there has been much resilience in the Grêmio defence. Grêmio have been stingy, seeing the number of goals that have gone in at their end during their past six games standing at 3. We will find out if that trend will end up being sustained here.
Their prior results show that Grêmio:
- have not beaten Corinthians in their last 10 league games.
- haven't been defeated in their previous 4 league matches at home.
Corinthians
WWWDLD
In the game prior to this, Corinthians drew 0-0 in the Serie A tie with Vitoria.
In that match, Corinthians managed 71% possession and 13 shots on goal with 3 on target. Vitoria had 6 attempts at goal with 2 on target.
The attacking players from Corinthians have suffered from a lack of goals in their past six games, recording the disappointing return of just 3. In those fixtures, Timão have also seen the collective goal aggregate against them equal 1.
Looking at the pre-match facts, Corinthians:
- remain undefeated by Grêmio in away games against them for the last 5 matches in the league. A very decent away record against them.
- haven’t won away from home in the past 5 matches in the league.
