It's been rough for Cuiabá so far, and I guess you could say the same about Grêmio. The strugglers have a chance for some much needed points here.
- Cuiabá have the fewest conceded goals in the second half (4) in Serie A
- Grêmio have the fewest scored goals in the second half (2) in Serie A
It's no vacation for neither Cuiabá nor Grêmio as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
These teams have little in common geographically as Grêmio have to travel 1900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Cuiabá form and stats
Cuiabá have played 8 Serie A games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-3-3 (wins-draws-losses).
Cuiabá's previous game was a Serie A match also played at home, ending 1-0 versus Athletico PR (placed 6th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Defender Paulão got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.82/10. Paulão won 4 of 5 duels.
Before that, Cuiabá drew at home versus Bahia.There will be little rest for Cuiabá after this match as they are travelling to Palmeiras for a Serie A game in only four days.
The Cuiabá fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 8 matches. Cuiabá have conceded 11 in these home matches.
Grêmio form and stats
Grêmio have only collected 3 points from their away games in the Serie A, after 1-0-6 (7 played). With two straight losses from their last two away games, Grêmio are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
There might be some fixture complaints from Grêmio as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Serie A match against Sao Paulo (1-2). Midfielder Thiago Santos was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.32. Santos hit one key pass and had 19 successful passes (of 22 total). Late heartbreak for Grêmio in the Sao Paulo match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime.
A home win before that, celebrating 2-1 vs Chapecoense.The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Bahia in just three days.
The attacking power of Grêmio when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 7 league matches away. It's worth mentioning that 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Grêmio's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 11 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
As for the last two games between these two teams, there's zero Cuiabá victories, zero draws and two Grêmio wins. Over/under statistics; one of these games ended with three goals or more, one match with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
