Gremio and Fluminense square off in a thrilling all-Brazilian affair in the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores on Tuesday. The Tricolor journey to the Couto Pereira Stadium on a seven-game losing streak against the hosts and will be looking to end this poor run.
Gremio returned to winning ways in style as they thrashed Cuiaba 3-1 at the Arena Pantanal in their Brasileiro Serie A clash on Saturday.
This followed a penalty-shootout defeat at the hands of Corinthians which saw Renato Portaluppi’s men crash out of the Copa do Brasil in the round of 16 on August 8.
Gremio now turn their attention to the Copa Sudamericana, where they picked up 10 points from six matches to finish as runners-up in Group C, two points above third-placed Huachipato.
Fluminense, on the other hand, were sent crashing back down to earth in Serie A as they were beaten 2-0 by Vasco da Gama at the weekend.
Before that, Mano Menezes’ men were on a four-game winning streak in the league, scoring four goals and keeping four clean sheets in that time.
While Fluminense have endured a rollercoaster league campaign, they stormed through the Copa Sudamericana group stages, claiming four wins and two draws from their six matches to finish as Group A winners with an eight-point lead over second-placed Colo Colo.
