The Athletico Paranaense squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-0 away defeat against Red Bull Bragantino, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed.  In that game they had 39% possession and managed 14 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Red Bull Bragantino who had 13 attempts and 4 on target.  

It seems pretty certain that Paulo Turra will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 8 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 9 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped.  They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.  

They've had a good run of form at home recently, with 5 straight wins in a row.

Grêmio will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 3-1 home win against Internacional.  In that game they recorded 29 % of the possession, with 14 attempts on goal, 6 on target. Their opponents found the target on 4 of their 24 shots on goal.  

While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 9 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 10, and leading to valuable points being dropped.   They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.  

It's been a mixed run of form for Grêmio recently with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats in their last 6 games.  

Away from home in the league, João Bitello has given the Grêmio travelling fans plenty to get excited about, with 3 goals from their last 6 games on the road.
