Gremio are also suffering a decline before the one of the most important matches of the season. They won their last match against league lowly America Mineiro and ended with four-match run without a single win. The team also eliminated three opponents in the tournament on their way to the final recording 1-0, 1-1 against Atletico Paranaense, 2-1, 1-1 against Palmeiras and 2-0, 0-0 against Cruzeiro. So, the visiting side have three wins and three draws with seven goals scored and three allowed in six matches. The most recent away defeat Gremio recorded back in the beginning of October, six matches ago.
Moreover, Gremio are undefeated in matches with Atletico Mineiro since 2013, for six games in a row, recording three wins and three draws. We should also note the fact that last 11 head-to-heads ended with low scoring result and there is no reason to expect such important clash to be a feast of goals.
Prediction for the match: under 3.0 goals.
