Gremio Porto Alegrense RS
- Gremio Porto Alegrense RS are unbeaten in four of their last five in all competitions (W3, D1, L1).
- With 21 points from 17 matches, Gremio Porto Alegrense RS and Corinthians Paulista are locked together in 14th and 15th place in Serie A 2026, respectively, and Saturday’s clash could be crucial for both clubs to kick on from their mediocre start to the new campaign.
- The hosts bring dynamic wide players and full-backs that thrive on the turn, and a frontline that can score a lot of goals, as evidenced by the 9 goals they’ve scored in their last 5 matches, with Carlos Vinicius netting three of those.
Corinthians Paulista
- Corinthians Paulista are unbeaten in four of their last five in all competitions (W3, D1, L1).
- Corinthians have also turned a corner recently, with Fernando Diniz’s ‘Dinizismo’ style taking hold since he was appointed in April 2026.
- Yuri Alberto is the focal point for attacks and Renato Augusto provides the creativity and control, but Corinthians have been poor on the road recently, failing to win in their last two away games (D1, L1), so it’s hard to see them securing a result here against the favourites.
Head-to-Head
- The hosts have not won any of their last 2 home head-to-heads with Corinthians Paulista, but they head into this on the back of consecutive home wins, beating Santos FC 3-2 in Serie A and Palestino Santiago 2-0 in the Copa Sudamericana.
- Corinthians drew 1-1 away at Penarol Montevideo in the last round of the Copa Libertadores and beat Atletico Mineiro 1-0 at home in the previous round of Serie A.
