Grêmio vs Atlético PR - 19/10/2023
5027
We have some tremendous fixtures to look forward to in the Brazilian Serie A this week, including the meeting between Grêmio and Athletico PR.
The game will take place on the 18th of October at the Arena do Grêmio and the hosts begin this round of matches in 3rd place on 44 points while the visitors are in 8th place on 41 points.
Grêmio come into the game having lost 3-2 at Internacional in their most recent match, which was in Serie A.
It was a disappointing result against a team in the bottom half of the table and Grêmio found themselves 2-0 down early in the second half.
Having pulled a goal back in the 67th minute, Grêmio conceded a third goal just 3 minutes later and could not score the 2 goals required to get a point in the time that remained.
The defeat at Internacional means Grêmio have recorded just a single win from their 5 most recent fixtures, all of which have been played in Serie A.
The win came at home over Palmeiras and there have been draws away to Corinthians and Fortaleza, with the former being an exciting 4-4 draw. Grêmio also lost 2-0 at RB Bragantino.
Trends show Grêmio have not been beaten in 12 of their 13 most recent home matches in Serie A.
They have won each of their last 5 home Serie A games and have kept a clean sheet in 4 of those 5 victories on home soil.
Athletico PR travel to the Arena do Grêmio on the back of a 1-1 draw at home with RB Bragantino, who are currently second in the table.
It was the away team who opened the scoring in the 34th minute but Athletico PR struck back 6 minutes later to take a point.
The draw with RB Bragantino means Athletico PR have won only 2 of their last 7 fixtures, all of which have been in Serie A.
The wins have come away to Flamengo and at home against Internacional. There have been draws at home with Fluminense and Atlético Mineiro plus away to Goiás.
Trends show in their 12 most recent matches in Serie A, Athletico PR have been undefeated 11 times.
However, they have won just 3 of their last 20 away matches in Serie A and have kept just 2 clean sheets in their last 9 league games on the road.
Team news: Grêmio are without the injured trio of Cuiabano, Rodrigo Ely, and Jhonata Robert.
Athletico PR have four players in the treatment room, with Vitor Roque, Arturo Vidal, Christian Cardoso, and Pedro Henrique all unavailable.
The loss of Vitor Roque is a blow for Athletico PR and he has scored 11 of their 38 goals this season.
That could lead to Athletico PR recording their second blank in 3 games and Grêmio could take maximum points, with 2-0 a possible correct score prediction.
