Gremio hosts Fluminense in round 31 of Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played on Wednesday, November 10th at Arena do Grêmio (Porto Alegre)
Gremio has been among the leaders of Brasileirao in recent years. The Immortal Tricolors did not become the champions of the country, but in 2017, they won the Copa Libertadores. And a little earlier, they won the Brazilian Cup. Last season was not bad: sixth place and advancing to the cup final. But having won the championship of Rio Grande do Sul in the spring, Gremio fell into a deep crisis. Even changes in the coaching staff have only minimal effect. The Immortal Tricolors earned only four points in the last ten rounds. In total, they scored only 26 points in 29 games, and only Chapecoense has less.

Fluminense showed great results in the previous season. Big Flu climbed to 5th place in Serie A, and it was the best indicator since 2012, when the club last became the champion of the country. Now a small step has been taken back. Still, 42 points after 30 rounds are quite a decent result, which allows Fluminense to keep on the 8th position. Of course, it is desirable to move up at least two positions, because the team that ends the season in Brasileirao in 6th place and higher will have the right to start again in Copa Libertadores. So far, Big Flu retains chances of getting into the desired zone, especially since it managed to win at home against Sport Recife in the last round. The only goal was scored by an experienced defender Braz in the 96th minute.
Fluminense managed to win two head-to-head matches in 2019. But Gremio looked stronger both before and after. Even this season, the Immortal Tricolors managed to win away thanks to a goal from Pinares at the end of the game. It was their third win in a row, and all matches ended with a 1-0 score. Gremio may want to win again, but it is in a deep crisis. We bet that the visitors will manage to earn at least one point.
Prediction for the match: Fluminense to win with +0.5 handicap
