In the last match, he tied with América Mineiro away for (1-1), after having lost in the previous game in a game against Palmeiras, (2-0).

His attack has scored regularly as he has scored goals in 7 of the last 10 games in this competition. In 30 games in this competition, only managed 2 turns on the board in the 10 games in which he suffered the first goal.

Grêmio has a reasonable campaign in the Brazilian Championship, could have been more profitable, but has prioritized the Copa Libertadores, where it comes from a big away win in the semifinals, but it is still a very difficult team to beat in the national team. The team has a reasonable attack that has scored 38 goals and is the seventh best in the competition, but its great asset is the defense that has only 19 goals and is the least leaked, being a very organized team defensively and leaving very few spaces. Playing at home like the match this Saturday, Grêmio is very strong, comes from 8 wins and 2 draws and it is worth mentioning that it is the third team that conceded the least in this type of situation with only 9 goals in 15 matches. For the confrontation before Sport Recife, coach Renato Gaúcho will spare several starters thinking about the game of the Cope Libertadores return next week and this will surely make the income fall, especially in the attack where his reserves have found certain difficulties to create opportunities and to balance the networks.

Sport Analysis
The visiting team is currently in 19th place with 30 points earned after 8 wins, 6 draws and 16 losses. In the penultimate match, he lost out to Atlético-PR by (4-0). In the last match, he won at home to Vasco by (2-1). This is a team affected by the home factor, stronger when played with the support of their fans, since in the last 30 games has recorded 2 wins, 1 draw and 12 defeats as a visitor, with a total of 11 goals scored and 35 conceded. Already inside the home, he won 6 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses, with a total of 16 goals scored and 15 conceded.

In this competition, he lost his last 10 games as a visitor and did not win any of the last 11 that he played as a visitor. In his league games as a visitor, the most frequent result at half-time was 0-0 (6 out of 15 matches). Defensive solidity has not been his strong point, having conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 games for this competition. In 30 games in this competition, he suffered the first goal 18 times and only got 2 turns on the scoreboard.

Sport Recife makes a terrible campaign in Serie A but has won 2 of their last 3 games and is looking for another positive result to try to leave the relegation zone. The team has an ineffective attack that has scored only 27 goals, being the fifth worst of the national, but the biggest problem is the defense that has conceded 50 goals, being the second more leaked, so much that has suffered 10 goals in the last 4 rounds. Playing away from home, such as this Saturday's match, Sport Recife are making bad games, coming from 10 losses and 1 draw and the most worrying is that they did not score goals in 7 of these 11 games, again evidencing their offensive inoperability. For the game against Grêmio, coach Milton Mendes is expected to repeat the last round where he beat Vasco da Gama 2-1.
