The two Porto Alegre-based rivals have endured contrasting fortunes in the league thus far, with the hosts in 19th place in the league table and the visitors in ninth place, with an eight-point lead.

The hosts have endured a four-game winless streak in all competitions, suffering three consecutive losses. They suffered their fifth consecutive league defeat earlier this week, falling to a 1-0 away loss to Fortaleza.

The visitors returned to winning ways after two games in their previous outing on Wednesday as Wesley's 42nd-minute strike helped them register a 1-0 home win over Corinthians after they had a goal ruled out by VAR early in the first half. The win helped them climb to ninth place in the league table at Atletico Mineiro's expense.

Gremio vs Internacional Prediction

Imortal Tricolor have seen a drop in form recently, with just one win in their last six games in all competitions. They have suffered consecutive defeats in their last five league outings which is their longest losing streak in the league since 2004.

They won their first two home games in Serie A this season while keeping clean sheets, but have suffered defeats in their last two while conceding two goals apiece. Nonetheless, they have suffered just one home loss in this fixture and will look to build on that form.

Colorado have seen conclusive results in their away games in Serie A this season, with two wins and losses apiece in four games. They have scored eight goals in their last eight games in all competitions, scoring one goal apiece in six games in that period.

Both teams have some absentees due to international duty and injuries, which takes the shine off this derby. With that in mind and considering the current goalscoring form of the two teams, a low-scoring draw is likely to ensue.

Prediction: Gremio 1-1 Internacional
