The Grêmio & Sport Recife head coaches Portaluppi and Oliveira are both fearful of and looking forward to this highly important match in the upper regions of the Serie B league table.

Insights:
  • Grêmio have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded at home.
  • Sport Recife have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.

It's quite the trip for Sport Recife when visiting Grêmio as the cities are 2300 kilometers apart.

Grêmio have less rest than Sport Recife in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Serie B game only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Novorizontino.
