Fortaleza vs Gremio Prediction

Leão do Pici have suffered two defeats on the trot, though both losses came in their away games. They are unbeaten in their last 11 home games in all competitions, recording three consecutive wins, and will look to build on that form.

Renato Kayzer and Emanuel Brítez are suspended for this match while Marinho, Calebe, and Dudu are injury concerns. Kervin Andrade and Benjamín Kuscevic are on international duty and remain unavailable.

Imortal Tricolor have struggled recently, with just one win in their last four games in all competitions, scoring just one goal apiece in these games. They have suffered losses in all three away games in Serie A this term, which is a cause for concern.

Everton Galdino is suspended due to yellow card accumulation while Diego Costa is injured. Mathias Villasanti and Yeferson Soteldo are on international duty and remain unavailable. Rodrigo Caio is free to make a debut for the club.

Considering the recent struggles of the two teams and their recent history, having played five draws in their last seven meetings, another low-scoring draw seems to be on the cards.
