The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Grêmio so far with only 12 points returning home. The records show 3-3-7 (win-draw-lose).

Grêmio might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match.

Preceding that game, the 2-3 loss visiting Internacional's place.
