Gremio vs Fluminense Predictions

• Only two of Gremio’s last eight outings have contained 3+ goals
• There have been two strikes or fewer in four of Fluminense’s last five games
• No team in Serie A has scored fewer goals than Gremio this season

Goal-shy Gremio need some attacking inspiration

Gremio’s fans are desperate for something to shout about, but their team head into this match on a six game winless run and with Serie A’s worst attack.

Renato Portaluppi’s side have scored just seven times in the league this season, while they have netted only twice across their last four fixtures at Arena do Grêmio.

That translates to six of their last eight matches containing fewer than three strikes, as well as four of their five home league games this campaign.

Fluminense struggling hugely

While the hosts are second bottom in Serie A, the only team below them are visitors Fluminense, who have last four games in a row and scored only once in the process.

Indeed, only one of their last five fixtures have contained 3+ strikes, while they have fired blanks in successive away trips to Botafogo (1-0) and Cruzeiro (2-0).

No team has scored fewer goals on the road than Fluminense this season, just two from five attempts, all of which have ended in defeat.

I predict there will be fewer than three goals in this game, selecting 1-0 to the hosts as my correct score prediction.
