Gremio suffered a
2-3 defeat against Internacional in their recent away game. Over the past five
league rounds, they have recorded one win, two draws, and two losses,
indicating a relatively average performance. Notably, out of these five rounds,
Gremio played four matches away from home. As a team known for being strong at
home and weaker on the road, Gremio’s performance differs significantly between
their home and away games. In the 13 home games played in the league so far,
Gremio have achieved an impressive record of 10 wins, two draws, and one loss,
showcasing their dominant form when playing in their home stadium. It’s worth
mentioning that Gremio’s top scorer is Uruguayan forward Luis Suarez. With nine
goals in the league, Suarez currently ranks fifth in the Brazilian top scorer
list. Impressively, at 36 years old, Suarez continues to display excellent form
in competitive matches.
Athletico
Paranaense’s recent form has declined, as they have been struggling in their
performances. In the last league round, they drew 1-1 with Bagantino at home,
and they have also experienced a two-game win-less streak in the league. While
Athletico Paranaense possess good offensive efficiency, their defence has been
porous, often allowing opponents to find scoring opportunities. Surprisingly,
even teams with mediocre offensive abilities like Coritiba have been able to
score two goals against them.
Additionally, they have been known for their struggles when playing away
matches. In their last 10 away games, they have only managed two wins, three
draws, and five losses.
Although they are
both not in their ideal form, Gremio have historically demonstrated stronger
overall strength compared to Athletico Paranaense. Taking into account the
performance disparity between the two teams at home and away, Gremio’s strength
in their home games suggests that they are expected to secure a victory and
overcome their recent decline.
