The Grêmio & São Paulo managers Portaluppi and Júnior are both worrying about and looking forward to this very important match in the upper part of the Serie A table.
- Grêmio have not yet lost a game at home.
- São Paulo have yet to win a game away.
It's no vacation for neither Grêmio nor São Paulo 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.

In the preceding match a 2-1 victory visiting Atletico PR.A decent goal production from Grêmio in their home games so far, with 7 goals from 4 league matches.
São Paulo form and stats
0-3-1 is the win-draw-loss statistic for São Paulo in their Serie A matches away. One point away has become something of a habit for São Paulo who have played out draws in their last three away games.
This match can not go any worse than the previous one, a Copa do Brasil home loss versus Sport Recife with 1-3 on the scoreboard. Calleri, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.32. Calleri hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.
That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Goias in the Serie A.As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 7 similar matches played by São Paulo in our archives, and the results are: 1 win for São Paulo, 4 draws and 2 defeats.
A quick return to home after this game, as São Paulo are hosting Deportes Tolima in the Copa Sudamericana only four days away.
The visitors have scored 3 goals from 4 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game.
Head 2 Head
