Palmeiras vs Gremio prediction, preview, team news and more | Brasileiro Serie A 2021
Looking to end their seven-game winless run across all competitions, Gremio travel to the Allianz Parque Stadium to take on Palmeiras on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, the hosts are on an impressive three-game winning streak and will aim to maintain that fine run of results.
Palmeiras continued their charge to the summit of the Brasileiro Serie A table last time out when they claimed a 1-0 victory away to Sport Recife.
In a keenly contested affair, Gustavo Scarpa scored his second goal of the season and the only goal of the game to hand the visitors a narrow win.
Palmeiras have now picked up three straight wins in the league and five in their last six outings. Their only defeat came against Red Bull Bragantino on 23 June.
This impressive run of results has seen Abel Ferreira’s side surge up the table to third place, level on 19 points with Atletico Paranaense.
In stark contrast, Gremio’s struggles continued on Sunday as they suffered a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Atletico Goianiense.
Despite being on the front foot for most of the game, Brazilian forward Lucao found the target in the 55th minute to give Atletico Goianiense their first win in three games.
While the result condemned Gremio to a second straight loss, they have now failed to taste victory in their last seven outings across all competitions.
With just two points from their seven games, Tiago Nunes’ men remain rooted to the bottom of the log. So far, they have scored the least amount of goals and kept the joint-fewest number of clean sheets.
