Gremio vs Vitoria Prediction and Betting Tips | July 21st 2024

The action continues in round 18 of Brasileiro Serie A as Gremio host Vitoria at the Estádio Centenário on Sunday. Renato Portaluppi’s men head into the weekend on a run of three consecutive defeats in the league and will be looking to stop the rot.

Gremio were sent crashing back down to earth on Wednesday as they fell to a 1-0 defeat against 10-man Sao Paulo at the Estádio Cícero Pompeu de Toledo.

Before that, Portaluppi’s men snapped their three-match winless run on July 14 when they secured a comfortable 3-1 victory over Serie B side Operário-PR in the second leg of their Copa do Brasil third-round clash.

Gremio have lost 10 of their 15 Serie A games so far while claiming three wins and two draws to collect 11 points and sit 18th in the table, just three points above rock-bottom Fluminense.

Vitoria, on the other hand, continue to struggle for results in the bottom half of the table as they suffered a 3-1 defeat against Fortaleza in midweek.

Thiago Carpini’s men have lost four of their last five matches, with a 2-1 home win over Criciuma on July 7 being the exception.

With 15 points from 17 matches, Vitoria are currently 16th in the league standings, level on points with 14th-placed Corinthians.
