Gremio vs Flamengo

Despite being newly promoted to Serie A, Grêmio have had an excellent season in each of the tournaments they have played. The team will be looking to beat Flamengo in order to continue the title race they last won in 2016.

Flamengo is another team that is on a very positive run this season. The team has a long unbeaten run in all tournaments and will be looking to extend it against Grêmio.

Renato Portaluppi has assembled a Gremio team that is fighting on all fronts this year. The team has already won the Campeonato Gaúcho after beating Caxias in the final, as well as being among the top qualifiers for the Brasileirão and in the top four of the Copa do Brasil.

After 15 games in Serie A, Gremio are Botafogo's biggest rivals, with 11 points, a total of nine wins and just two defeats, and a good attack, averaging almost two goals per game.

Their home performance is their biggest strength, with just one defeat in 20 games played this season, and only two games without scoring.

Flamengo's performance has also been very positive in the last part of the season. The team had a difficult start, but the situation has improved considerably in recent games.

They are currently third in the Brasileirão, a position that could be better as they have drawn three of their last games in a row, but with a total of 28 goals scored, they remain one of the best attacks in the Brasileirão.

It is the away games that have cost the Mengões the most, with only four wins in the last ten games, and no goals in the last one, a 0-0 draw with Fluminense.
