Grêmio delivered a 3-1 score versus Chapecoense in their previous game, a game to remember. Next up is this sturdy Flamengo team.

Insights:
  • Grêmio have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Flamengo have the most scored goals (64) in Serie A

It's no vacation for neither Grêmio nor Flamengo 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 are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.

Grêmio form and stats

When playing at home in the Serie A, Grêmio have managed 6 wins, 5 draws and suffered 5 defeats from 16 games. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Grêmio after consecutive victories at their own ground.

A strong away win for Grêmio against Chapecoense the last match, as Lucas Silva and Thiago Santos were on target. Midfield player Lucas Silva got a match rating of 8.45 in that game, the max score being 10. Silva scored one goal, served one assist, hit three key passes and had 68 successful passes (of 80 total).

Ahead of that match, Grêmio won a home game hosting Bragantino (3-0).

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 nine games) they have won six times, drawn three and lost zero.

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

Grêmio has scored 20 league goals at home this season, in 16 matches. Grêmio's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 16 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Flamengo form and stats

Playing away, Flamengo, who have the most scored goals (64) in Serie A, have won 8 games, drawn 5 and suffered 3 defeats in the Serie A this season. The fact that Flamengo have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting.

Flamengo play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-1 victory visiting Internacional (placed 8th). Goalkeeper Diego Alves was absolutely vital in the Flamengo victory against Internacional, making seven saves. Vitinho got a match rating of 8.43 in that game, top player of the team. Vitinho served one assist, hit four key passes and dribled past the opponent 8 of 9 times.

Prior to that match, a home win 1-0 against Corinthians.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Flamengo manager R. Portaluppi as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Palmeiras.

With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Flamengo are regular goalscorers on their travels. As opposed to that, Flamengo have seen the ball go into their own net 16 times on the road.
