Palmeiras and Gremio go head to head at the Allianz Parque in round five of the Brasileiro Serie A on Wednesday (May 10). The Big Green head into the midweek clash on a run of four wins against the visitors and will look to continue in the same vein.
The hosts continued their superb run of form, as they steamrolled ten-man Goias 5-0 at the Estadio da Serrinha on Sunday. Abel Ferreira’s side are on a three-game winning streak and are unbeaten in nine outings, winning seven wins since April’s 3-1 loss against Bolivar. With ten points from four games, Palmeiras are second in Serie A, two points off first-placed Botafogo.
Meanwhile, Gremio were left spitting feathers last time out, as they were held to a 3-3 draw by Red Bull Bragantino at home. Renato Gaúcho’s side have now failed to win three of their last four outings, with a 2-1 victory over ten-man Cuiaba on April 30 being the exception.
Gremio are seventh in the standings, but victory here will see them move level on ten points with Palmeiras.
