Sport Recife are struggling to find any real consistency, while Gremio continue to go from strength to strength. The away side are one of the favourites to win the Brazilian Serie A this season and will be confident of maintaining their 100% win rate with a win in Recife.

Match Preview

Ahead of our Sport vs Gremio preview, the home’s form has been far more miss than hit. Sport Recife have only managed to win two of their last nine fixtures across various competitions and they have only scored more than one goal once in their last ten outings.

• Danubio 3-0 Sport - Copa Sudamericana
• Ponte Preta 4-0 Sport - Serie A
• Sport 1-1 Bahia - Copa de Nordeste
• Sport 1-1 Cruzeiro - Serie A

Gremio have won three on the spin and four of their last five games altogether, conceding just three times along the way. Momentum in football is key and right now the away side have plenty ahead of our Sport vs Gremio predictions below. Central to their good run has been the form of Lucas Barrios who has scored seven in his last five appearances.

Last Sunday’s win at Atletico PR was only Gremio’s second away win in six, though they will see a trip to out of form Sport Recife as an ideal opportunity to further enhance their record on the road.

• Deportes Iquique 2-1 Gremio
• Gremio 2-0 Botafogo
• Gremio 3-1 Fluminense
• Atletico PR 0-2 Gremio

Sport vs Gremio Prediction and Betting Advice

Although the bookies seem to be making Sport the slight favourites for this one, I tend to believe that the game could swing in the opposite direction entirely. My Sport vs Gremio picks are geared towards an away win for Gremio – Renato Gaúcho’s men are high on confidence and will feel capable of winning anywhere at the moment.

I’m tipping Gremio to win their fourth game on the trot to solidify their position at the top of the Brazilian Serie A table.
