Gremio take on the visitors Ponte Preta at “Arena do Gremio” in the gameweek 14 of the Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played in Porto Alegre on Sunday, July 16th.
Gremio were rather successful in the mid-week battle: the side defeated Flamengo RJ with 1:0 scoreline on the road. That triumph allowed “Imortal Tricolor” to stay on the second place in the elite division’s table with 25 points earned and 24-14 goal difference, but what is more important it broke three-clash losing streak in the national championship. In this season’s Serie A Renato Gaucho’s team conducted six encounters at its own turf resulting in 12 points taken, seven goals for and three goals against. It should be noted that Gremio lost their two recent games in front of their supporters in the elite division: vs. Corinthians 0:1 and vs. Avai 0:2.

Ponte Preta have failed to win in the Serie A since the 23rd of June. The side was beaten three times and got one draw during that run. As a result, Gilson Kleina’s team dropped to the bottom of the standings and at the moment it sits on the 15th place with 15 points gained and 12-18 goal difference. This season Ponte Preta got not a single victory on the road in the elite division having recorded three draws, four defeats, two goals for and 11 goals against. “Macaca”’s no-win streak at away grounds has reached 11 encounters and has been lasting since the 11th of April. During that series the side gained five draws and six losses having not scored a single goal in last five away clashes.
Despite the fact that Ponte Preta won their last head-to-head against Gremio, still, “Imortal Tricolor” has advantage in that pair. Plus it will play at the home field and, in general, it demonstrates more convincing football in this season comparing to the upcoming rival, thus, the hosts’ three points earned are seemed to be the most possible outcome of the battle.
Prediction for the match: Gremio to win.
