Gremio occupy the third position in the table of the Series A with six points taken and 7-4 goal difference after three gameweeks. In regard to the Copa do Brasil, the side is the defending champion and entered the tournament at the 1/8 stage with the runaway victory over “Flu”. On the road Renato Gaucho’s team demonstrates not so convincing results as at its own turf: in 2017 Gremio recorded four wins, four draws and five defeats in 13 matches. It should be noted that there were four narrow defeats.
Fluminense were not beaten by Gremio in five recent encounters resulting in four draws and one “Flu”’s triumph. Taking into account the rivals’ head-to-head statistics, plus this season’s results, I believe that the hosts will not be broken by their opponent in the upcoming battle.
Prediction for the match: Fluminense to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
