Gremio vs Athletico Paranaense tips and predictions

Gremio to come through Athletico Paranaense threat

It looks like this will be a pretty even contest and there are arguments to be made for all outcomes. The pick is to get with the home team but this could sound foolish at full-time. There's just not enough value in the Athletico Paranaense price.

The hosts are going into the match having strung together 16 wins from their last 20 home games.

The home players are finding some form on their own paddock. Gremio scored three or more goals in 4 of their recent 6 home matches while their defensive line also deserves some props. They have only conceded an average of 0.8 goals over their last 20 games at home.

Athletico Paranaense haven't been at their best on the road. They've conceded at least once in 5 of their last 6 away matches. This doesn't look like great news ahead of this match.

Gremio have won 9 of the last 17 fixtures between these sides. It might not be significant but the head-to-head stats point to another home win.

It's not a confident prediction though and they may end up sharing the spoils. It would be odd to imply that the favourites are a banker here. It's perfectly credible that the two sides cancel each other out in a war of attrition. It's not a strong view so it isn't one to get stuck into but the No BTTS bet is fair.
