Insights:
  • Grêmio have the fewest scored goals (4) in Serie A

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.

Fluminense form and stats

2-2-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie A numbers at home for Fluminense so far this season.

Fluminense are returning here after visiting Cerro Porteño in a Copa Libertadores game and winning with a 2-0 scoreline. Egídio and Nenê scored the goal(s). Midfield player Caio Paulista got a match rating of 7.34 in that game, the max score being 10. Paulista signed up for two assists, hit one key pass and dribled passed the opponent 3 of 3 times.

Before that match, a Serie A win away at Sport Recife.

This is expected to be a close game, with Fluminense perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Fluminense as a small favourite), we find eleven games. Fluminense has won six of these, drawn two and lost three.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Copa Libertadores game versus Cerro Porteño in only three days. This game is also played here at Estadio Jornalista Mário Filho.

Fluminense have scored 4 league goals here from 5 matches, not a lot. Fluminense have conceded 5 in these home matches.

Grêmio form and stats

The manager L. Scolari is not happy with the away performances in the Serie A so far, as all 4 matches have been lost. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Grêmio, who have now gone ten games without a victory. The Internacional game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.

Grêmio aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 496 league minutes without a goal. Leo Pereira was the last player to find the net.

It's the second away game in a row for Grêmio, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus LDU Quito in the Copa Sudamericana last time out.

A 0-0 draw was the result before that, hosting Internacional in the Serie A.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found five similar matches played by Grêmio in our archives, and the results are: four wins for Grêmio, one draw and zero defeats.

After this away game Grêmio return home for a Copa Sudamericana game against LDU Quito. That game is only three sleeps after this.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Grêmio's away games in the league this season with only 2 goals from 4 matches. Grêmio have conceded 8 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Fluminense won two games, one match ended with a draw and Grêmio has seven wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: three / seven
