Gremio take on the visitors Athletico Paranaense in the round 27 match of Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played on Thursday, October 19th at Arena do Grêmio (Porto Alegre).
Gremio are benefiting from the "cleansing" in the second division. The "Musketeers" had shown good stability. Against this backdrop, their relegation to the second division in the season before last was quite unexpected. They didn't manage to stay there for long and quickly returned to their familiar top-tier level. However, it took them two attempts to do so, so expectations were not high for Luis Suarez and his team. There were even speculations about the Uruguayan considering retirement due to an injury, or rumors sending him to join Messi at Inter Miami. But the striker stays and continues to help his team create a sensation in the Brasileirao, already scoring 9 goals. Despite a recent loss to Internacional, they are holding onto the third position, albeit on goal difference.

Atletico Paranaense finished in sixth place in the Brasileirao last season. However, they couldn't maintain that level this time around. Even in the Copa Libertadores, after advancing from the group stage, experienced Brazilian players managed to get eliminated in the Round of 16 against Libertad. They tried to make amends in the Serie A, but the team was hampered by an injury to their young talent (and Barcelona target), Vitor Roque. It's no surprise that they recently suffered a loss to the underdogs, Coritiba, and then played a 1-1 draw at home against Red Bull Bragantino.
Two years ago, Atletico Paranaense won both matches. However, after returning to Serie A, Gremio won 2-1 away. The "Musketeers" at home should perform as well as they do away. Let's believe that Luis Suarez and his team can secure a victory in this match.
Prediction for the match: Gremio to win.
