Gremio hosts Sport Recife in round 23 of Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played on Monday, October 4th at Arena do Grêmio (Porto Alegre)
Gremio stably took places in a higher part of the Serie A standings. For example, the last draw ended with the final 6th place. And suddenly the team got in the zone of direct relegation. The Immortal Tricolors began to step up only after Luiz Felipe Scolari came to the coaching post. Under the management of this very experienced coach, Gremio showed a streak of five victories in seven matches in August and September, sharply reducing the gap from the neighbors. But in the last round, a week ago, the Immortal Tricolors were very confidently and calmly beaten by Atletico Paranaense. Now Gremio is in 18th place. On the other hand, the victory in the upcoming game may rise it two or three positions higher.

Sport Recife is used to the fact that it either relegates to Serie B or avoids such a fate with great difficulty. In the last draw, the Lions managed to score more than 40 points and quite calmly won the right to continue playing in Brasileirao. But this summer was failed completely. And the fact that the team is the penultimate is due to the presence of another, even more not corresponding to the level of the division, Chapecoense, which earned only ten points. However, Sport Recife has only seven more, and what difference does it make from which position to leave the elite? In addition to the junction of July and August, when eight points were earned in four rounds, the Lions seemed simply superfluous in Serie A. Now they have a streak of eight matches without victories.
Sport Recife is like a kind of curse for Gremio. The Immortal Tricolors have won only one match out of the last 11! Even this season, Sander's goal brought the Lions another victory in June. Gremio looks like the favorite in the upcoming game, and it simply must win. But keeping in mind the history of head-to-head confrontations, it is better to bet on Under 2.5 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
