Grêmio form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Grêmio so far with only 12 points returning home. The records show 3-3-8 (win-draw-lose). With two straight losses from their last two away games, Grêmio are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Grêmio had fun at their own home (Estádio Raimundo Sampaio) last time out, beating Flamengo 3-2. Fernandes, Henrique and Ferreira scored. Those three points felt good as this club had gone four league matches without winning. Midfielder Villasanti was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.02. Villasanti signed up for two assists, hit three key passes and had 36 successful passes (of 40 total).

Preceding that game, the 0-3 loss visiting Sao Paulo's place.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 8 similar matches played by Grêmio in our archives, and the results are: 0 wins for Grêmio, 3 draws and 5 defeats.

The schedule is very tough for Grêmio now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Serie A game at Coritiba is waiting in only four days.

Grêmio have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 14 league away games 16 goals have been scored.
