Cruzeiro are looking to maintain their title push as they host Gremio in a Brazilian Serie A fixture.

The hosts have been impressive this season and often do their best work in front of the fans. With the visitors a bit unconvincing on their travels, a home win is expected here.
 

Cruzeiro News


Cruzeiro are enjoying a fine campaign as they sit second in the table, behind Flamengo only on goal difference. They played a 0-0 draw at Vitoria in their previous league fixture and will head into this clash off the back of a 1-0 friendly win over Banfield.
 
A solid home form has been at the heart of Cruzeiro's campaign as they have not lost in the league in front of their fans so far. Leonardo Jardim's men are unbeaten in nine of their last 10 home matches across all competitions, earning seven wins on this run.

Cruzeiro often make fast starts and have scored first in four of their last five league matches. They have also won the first half in three fixtures in that run.
 

Gremio News


Gremio have had their moments this season but have been largely inconsistent so far. They have picked up just four wins from 12 matches and are currently in the bottom half of the table.
 
Mano Menezes’ team will come into this clash with plenty of confidence after claiming a 2-0 victory over EC Sao Jose to win the Recopa Gaucho. They played out a 1-1 draw with Corinthians in their previous league fixture. 

While things are going well for Gremio, their away form needs some improvement. They are winless in seven of their last eight matches on their travels, but did earn a 2-0 victory at strugglers Juventude in their last game on the road.
 

Head to Head


Cruzeiro and Gremio have picked up two wins each and as many draws from the last six matches. Both teams battled to a 1-1 draw in the last league meeting back in November.

Verdict

Cruzeiro have been one of the teams to beat this season and come into this clash with a solid home form. Having won seven of their last 10 matches in front of their fans, they should have the upper hand over Gremio, who often struggle in their travels.

The hosts often make fast starts and have scored first in four of their last five home matches in the league. They have also won the first half in three of those five fixtures and could be set for a similar pattern.
