Struggling Fortaleza will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Grêmio in the upcoming league round. It’s 15th vs 4th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

Insights:
  • Fortaleza has the most clean sheets (8) at home in Serie A
  • Grêmio has the fewest conceded goals (23) in Serie A

It's no vacation for neither Fortaleza 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 2600 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
