Gremio look to get back to winning ways when they host Corinthians in Brasileirao action this week. The home team are third in the table after two games, the first being a win and the second being a draw. Corinthians come into this game in 14th place after losing their only match thus far, a 3-2 defeat to Atletico MG. They had their first match of the season postponed, hence the reason why they have a game in hand on their opponents. Gremio will be disappointed that they couldn't follow up their opening win over Fluminense with another victory at Ceara. Despite having a superior head-to-head record, they struggled to break down the home team's defense. The foundations of Gremio's success remain their backline and they have plenty of experience in keeping Corinthians attackers out in recent seasons. Gremio are not only unbeaten in five matches against Corinthians, they've also kept a clean sheet in each match as well. Their encounters are typically low-scoring. Eight of the last nine have featured fewer than three goals. Astonishingly, seven of the last eight games between Gremio and Corinthians have featured fewer than two goals.

Corinthians have failed to score on three of their last four visits to Gremio. In attack, they have veteran Brazil forward Jo, formerly of Manchester City. They finished eighth in the league last season, scoring 42 goals in 38 matches. Gremio, who finished fourth, scored 64 goals. We suggest backing Gremio to win in a game featuring fewer than three goals.
