- Competition: Campeonato Brasileiro Série A

- Kickoff: 23:30 UK / 00:30 CEST
- Venue: Mangueirão
Remo and Grêmio meet on Wednesday in a crucial 29th-round Campeonato Brasileiro Série A encounter. Both sides are battling at the wrong end of the table, with Grêmio 17th on 29 points and Remo 19th on 23 points after 28 matches. The hosts are eight points from safety, making every remaining fixture increasingly important.
There is very little historical precedent between these teams at Série A level. Their only previous meeting in the 2026 league campaign ended goalless, with Grêmio and Remo drawing 0-0.
Remo team overview
Remo enter the game after a difficult run of form. The Azulino have lost their last five Série A matches, including a 2-1 home defeat to Santos before a three-week long international break.
Their home record is somewhat better, although still modest at three wins, five draws and six defeats. The long 19-day break since the Santos defeat has provided new coach Thiago Carpini with additional preparation time ahead of a decisive final stretch.
There is positive news regarding Jajá, the club's leading Série A scorer with seven goals. He has recovered from an ankle injury and trained normally, while left-back Mayk has also returned to training following a calf problem.
Zé Ivaldo and Patrick are available again after missing the Santos game due to contractual restrictions. However, Zé Welison and Poveda are suspended, while Defender Matheus Felipe is also unavailable with a serious thigh injury.

Gremio team overview
Grêmio's overall numbers are marginally better, but their away form is extremely concerning. At home they have taken 25 points; however, they remain winless away from home, recording four draws and 10 defeats.
Their last away victory against a Série A opponent came in September 2025, when they beat Internacional 3-2 in the Gre-Nal, accumulating for more than 365 days without an away win.
Renato Gaúcho has recently returned for his fifth spell in charge and has taken one point from his first two matches, following a 3-2 defeat to Botafogo and the draw with Palmeiras.
Grêmio will be without suspended defender Gustavo Martins and midfielder Erick Noriega. Jovane Cabral is another confirmed absentee after suffering a grade-two thigh injury while on international duty with Cape Verde. He had made nine appearances since joining the club, contributing one goal and one assist.

Prediction
This looks difficult to separate, particularly given both teams' relegation concerns. Remo's home advantage and Grêmio's extraordinary 0-4-10 away record make a straightforward away win difficult to justify. However, Remo's five-match losing streak and defensive record of 47 goals conceded also make backing the hosts risky.
The previous 0-0 meeting, combined with Grêmio's recent low-scoring games, points towards another tight contest.
Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals.
Three reasons we expect Under 2.5 Goals
- The first meeting between these sides also featured under 2.5 goals (goalless 0-0 draw).
- Two of Grêmio's last three league away matches have seen under 2.5 goals.
- Remo have only scored one goal in their last two league matches.
