The 2-1 away defeat to Fortaleza will not have sat easily with the Corinthians squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points.  In that game they had 48% possession and managed 6 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Fortaleza who had 23 attempts and 6 on target.  

Vanderlei Luxemburgo will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 8 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 7 goals and, as a result, lost some important points.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games at Neo Química Arena.  

There will be mixed feelings from Timão, although undefeated in their last 4 league games at home, 2 of these games ended in a draw.

The Grêmio players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Red Bull Bragantino recently, that ended in a 2-0 defeat.  Their share of possession in that meeting was 41%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target. Red Bull Bragantino had 16 shots on goal with 4 on target.  

Manager Renato Portaluppi will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 8 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 6 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way.   

They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.  

Franco Cristaldo will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Corinthians in this match, having already scored 2 goals in his last 6 away games for Grêmio.
