Gremio Porto Alegrense RS
- Gremio manager Luis Castro is a big believer in playing a patient, possession-based soccer with structured pressing and high lines, but his team do not lack the energy to get forward and make things happen.
- He has instilled this identity since taking over at the end of December 2025 and they have won three and drawn two of their five home league games this term.
- Their form of two wins, one draw and two defeats in their last five games across all competitions is average, but their recent results are better at home than on the road.
- Gremio Porto Alegrense RS have won their last two home games to nil.
Coritiba FC PR
- Coritiba are much more of a pragmatic side and Fernando Seabra has made them compact and hard to beat by keeping the team well organised at the back and disciplined when it comes to pressing the ball.
- They have won one, drawn three and lost one of their last five matches and they will make Gremio work hard for any victory.
- Coxa’s last two games have been a 2-2 away draw at Botafogo RJ and a 2-0 win at home to Atletico MG, where they were deserved winners.
- Breno Lopes is their most likely goalscorer, with two in the last five, and he is always a threat on the counterattack.
- But they will definitely make it a game and the odds for both teams to score - 1.95 - suggest there’s a good chance we’ll see goals at both ends.
Head-to-Head
- Coritiba have never won at Gremio and will have to break that streak if they are to get a result on Sunday.
- Gremio’s home record and recent head-to-head record should see them win in what could be a wide open game.
Key Players
Gremio’s problem in the league has been finding a goalscorer that can make the difference and Francis Amuzu has been the most likely source with two goals in his last three games .
- He is their main man up front and should trouble Coritiba’s back line on Sunday.
- Breno Lopes is their most likely goalscorer, with two in the last five, and he is always a threat on the counterattack.
Betting Insights
- The odds for both teams to score - 1.95 - suggest there’s a good chance we’ll see goals at both ends.
- Over 2.5 goals at 2.22 is the best bet on the goal markets with Gremio 1.91 for the win because the hosts have home advantage, have won their last two against Coritiba and are playing with a bit more confidence recently.
Prediction
Gremio’s home record and recent head-to-head record should see them win in what could be a wide open game.
