Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Santos in 7th and Grêmio in 11th place.
It's no vacation for neither Santos nor Grêmio 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.
Santos form and stats
Santos have collected 10 points from their Serie A home games so far after 2-4-1. Two draws in a row at home now for Santos.
Santos shared the glory with Corinthians in their last match, an away game that ended all square 1-1. A strong away win before that one, visiting Goiás and winning 3-2.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Santos as they have a new game in only three days, a Serie A match thankfully also at home. Atlético GO are visiting.
A decent goal production from Santos in their home games so far, with 12 goals from 7 league matches. 9 goals have been conceded.
Grêmio form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Serie A travels is 1 win, 4 draws and 1 defeat.
The supporters enjoyed Grêmio's previous game versus Coritiba (placed 18th), a Serie A 2-1 win played at home. Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Internacional.
After this away game Grêmio return home for a Serie A game against Botafogo. That game is only three sleeps after this.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Grêmio have scored 6 goals in 6 league games away. As opposed to that, Grêmio have seen the ball go into their own net 6 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's two Santos victories, three draws and five Grêmio wins. Over/under statistics; five of these games ended with three goals or more, five matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
