Fortaleza

WLWLWL ↕

Fortaleza won’t want a repeat of their last result here following a 0-3 Serie A loss in their previous game against Flamengo.

In that game, Fortaleza had 40% possession and 6 attempts at goal with 2 of them on target. At the other end, Flamengo had 13 shots at goal with 6 on target. Pedro (60') and Michael (64', 67') scored for Flamengo.

An interesting trait of recent Fortaleza games is the number of results with a nil in them.

Taking their previous 6 matches leading up to this one, in as many as 5 of them a wager on "Both Teams to Score" would've been a loser.

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

• are unbeaten in the league by Grêmio in their previous 4 games.
• have left without a victory over Grêmio in their last 3 matches in the league.
• have not won at home in their last 5 league matches. Things will have to change soon.

Grêmio

Following on from a losing effort in their last game against Santos in Serie A competition, Grêmio and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

In that game, Grêmio had 41% possession and 8 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target. For their opponents, Santos got 13 attempts at goal with 5 on target. Wagner Leonardo (92') scored for Santos.

The stats don’t lie, and Grêmio have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, seeing opposing sides hit 11 goals in all. In defence, Grêmio can certainly do much better. It will be interesting to find out whether or not that trend will end up being continued on into this next match.

Coming into this fixture, Grêmio haven’t won away from home in the past 2 league matches.
