The overall stats in the Serie A are 9-5-1 (wins-draws-losses). The Grêmio fans aren't used to losing league-games here at Arena do Grêmio and will expect new points from this game.

Flamengo form and stats

8-3-4 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Flamengo, who have the most points (27) away in Serie A, in their Serie A matches away.

Flamengo lost away at Atletico PR (1-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Before that, Flamengo secured a home win against Palmeiras with the score 2-0.

It's a bit worrying for Flamengo that their goalkeeper Hugo Souza made six saves in the Atletico PR game last time out, but still couldn't prevent the loss.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Serie A trip to Sport Recife.
