It's a new beginning in Serie A - the first match of the season. Read the full guide and see how Grêmio and Santos did in their pre-season training matches!
Grêmio have less rest than Santos in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Copa do Brasil game only three days ago. That game was an away game at ABC, so at least Grêmio are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Grêmio form and stats
Disaster struck Grêmio last season as they could not defend their status as a Gaucho 1 team. With 19 defeats from 38 games, and only 12 wins, relegation could not be avoided. Grêmio are hopeful of bouncing straight back up, but need to improve upon their home record from last season of W8 D6 L5.
Santos form and stats
A job perfectly done for Santos last season as they secured promotion from Paulista A1. With a grand total of 3 wins, 5 draws and 4 defeats the season objective was secured. Of these wins, 0 were in away matches.
A new game in only four days for Santos, the Copa Sudamericana home match versus Audax Italiano. Busy days.
