Gremio, Recent FormBuilding up confidence within his squad will be a priority for Grêmio supremo Renato Portaluppi after sustaining a heavy 4-1 away loss to Palmeiras. They achieved 42% possession in that match and had 3 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Palmeiras' tally of 28 efforts at goal, 10 of which were on target.
When it comes to attacking power Portaluppi will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 10 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 9 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games.
They have been performing well at Arena do Grêmio recently and are unbeaten in their last 8 home games.
Fortaleza, Recent FormFortaleza were forced to settle for a share of the points in their last league match, which wound up a 0-0 draw against São Paulo. They came away from that fixture with a 44% share of the possession and clocked up 16 attempts on goal with 2 on target, in comparison to São Paulo, who managed 13 attempts on goal, 1 of which were on target.
Manager Juan Pablo Vojvoda will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games.
Their strong run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 8 games in a row.
With 4 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Fortaleza, Thiago Galhardo will be looking to add more goals against Grêmio in this match.
The 1-0 victory which Fortaleza recorded last time these two sides met was no surprise to most.
On each of the last 3 outings between Grêmio and Leão do Pici in the league, Grêmio have not performed well in front of goal and have come up empty-handed in terms of goals. Tricolor dos Pampas have struggled to break down the Fortaleza defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 2 occasions that these 2 sides have met at Arena do Grêmio in the league, but Grêmio will take some small comfort in being unbeaten in their last 5 meetings there.
Grêmio manager Renato Portaluppi has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Rodrigo Ferreira (Muscle), Pedro Geromel (Knee), João Pedro (Thigh), João Pepê (Muscle), Fábio Pereira da Silva (Ankle) and Diego Souza (Meniscus) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Juan Pablo Vojvoda has a number of injury concerns in his Fortaleza squad to contend with: Marcelo Benevenuto (Thigh), João Ricardo (Thigh) and Pedro Rocha (Cruciate ligament)
