Gremio desperately need points on Wednesday, Oct 28 at 4:00 PM in the Serie A. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Gremio come into this fixture out of form (1W 2L recently). Athletico Paranaense, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 2D 1L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Gremio head into this on the back of a defeat, while Athletico Paranaense arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Gremio and Athletico Paranaense have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (5W–1D–4W). Their last encounter ended in a 0–0 draw.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Gremio a slight edge, but Athletico Paranaense are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
