Grêmio form and stats

1-0-0 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie A numbers at home for Grêmio so far this season. Grêmio haven’t lost a league-game in ten attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Caxias, 175 days ago. There’s a good atmosphere here at Arena do Grêmio after three straight home wins.

Grêmio shared the glory with Ceará in their last match, an away game that ended all square 1-1. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Fluminense in a game that was won 1-0.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Grêmio have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won two times, drawn three and lost one.

Grêmio are traveling soon after this match as the Serie A match at Flamengo awaits in four days.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Grêmio at home in the league. 1 on target and 0 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.

Corinthians form and stats

Corinthians have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the Serie A were 1 victory, 3 draws and 2 defeats from 6 fixtures.

Corinthians lost away at Atlético Mineiro (2-3) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Before that, Corinthians travelled to Palmeiras (after extra-time, 4-3 on penalties) and returned home with a draw after the Paulista A1 game finished 1-1.

Leading 2-0 was not enough for Corinthians in their fight with Atlético Mineiro last time out. Happy faces soon turned sour as mistakes flourished in what ended up a 2-3 loss. It's a bit worrying for Corinthians that their goalkeeper Cássio made ten saves in the Atlético Mineiro game last time out, but still couldn''t prevent the loss.

We have checked recent matches where Corinthians have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those ten games were one victory, five draws and four defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Corinthians are hosting Coritiba in the Serie A only four days away.

It's early days yet, but Corinthians has scored 2 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).

Let's have a look at how Corinthians performed last season in the Paulista A1: They landed a 2nd position in the league table after playing out 4 victories, 5 draws and 3 defeats. In total they scored 15 and conceded 10 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 1 - drew 3 and lost 2 with 6/6 goals scored/conceded.

Head 2 Head

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's three Grêmio victories, five draws and two Corinthians wins. Over/under statistics; two of these games ended with three goals or more, eight matches with two goals or less.
