Running out at their own ground feels safe and nice for Tombense, but Grêmio are fully bent and qualified to go home as winners. What will the score be?

Insights:
  • Tombense have the most dropped points from leading position (20) in Serie B
  • Grêmio have the most scored goals in the first half (23) in Serie B

Relegation threatens Tombense who should definitely be looking for some points here. Grêmio is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.

This promises to be an exciting game with lots of action and energy as both participants are well renewed since they last saw competitive action. Let's get started!

Tombense form and stats

Tombense have collected 35 points from their Serie B home games so far after 9-8-1. When Tombense hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Cruzeiro, Sampaio Correa, Ituano, Bahia and Vasco da Gama), they have won 3 of 5 matches!

Tombense lost their last game at Chapecoense (placed 15th) after a 2-3 scoreline. Neto, defender, was given a rating of 7.43/10 in that game, top of the team. Neto served one assist, hit one key pass and won 6 of 9 duels.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Ponte Preta that ended 0-0.

This is expected to be a close game, with Tombense perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Tombense as a small favourite), we find 13 games. Tombense has won 4 of these, drawn 7 and lost 2.

A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Bahia.
