In total; 29 fixtures are finished and Internacional are 15 points ahead of Grêmio. Who wins?
- Internacional have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Grêmio have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.
Grêmio could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Serie A game only three sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Atletico Mineiro. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Grêmio have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1500 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Internacional form and stats
Internacional have played 14 Serie A games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 6-5-3 (wins-draws-losses). Internacional have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.
The fans are hoping that Internacional will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Serie A game against Sao Paulo (placed 12th). Marcelo Lomba had a busy but productive day in the Sao Paulo match. Despite making seven saves the loss could not be prevented. Goalkeeper Marcelo Lomba got the top rating on the team in that game; 8.15 out of ten. Lomba stopped the opponent with seven saves.
In the match before that, Internacional hosted Corinthians and drew the game 2-2.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 Internacional have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eight games) they have won five times, drawn two and lost one.
The manager D. Aguirre Camblor will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Juventude in only four days.
Internacional have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Estádio José Pinheiro Borda with 23 goals in 14 league matches. On the other hand, Internacional have conceded 16 goals.
Grêmio form and stats
Grêmio have only collected 9 points from their away games in the Serie A, after 3-0-11 (14 played). Bitter travels for Grêmio as they have lost five games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Flamengo match.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Grêmio, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-2 versus Atletico Mineiro (placed 1st). Midfield player Lucas Silva was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.62/10. Silva hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times and had 32 successful passes (of 35 total).
Preceding that, the 1-3 home loss versus Palmeiras.Grêmio are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, three draws and four defeats. From a total of seven matches.
A quick return to home after this game, as Grêmio are hosting Fluminense in the Serie A only three days away.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Grêmio as they have only managed to score 9 times from 14 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Grêmio struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 21 goals conceded from these games.
