Gremio host Atletico Goianiense at the Arena do Gremio in Brazil's Serie A on Monday, with both sides not having the best of starts to their seasons.
Gremio are currently bottom of the league, having not yet registered a win this season.
Tiago Nunes' side have only gained two points from their opening six league fixtures and will most likely be part of a relegation scrap throughout the campaign.
Atletico Goianiense have not been in good form either, having won only one of their last six games across all competitions. Eduardo Barroca's side are currently 11th in the league with a win potentially taking them into the top six.
With both sides in terrible form, one should not expect Monday's game to be a very exciting affair.
Gremio vs Atletico Goianiense Head-to-Head
Gremio have dominated the recent head-to-head record between the two sides and are unbeaten in their last five meetings against Atletico Goianiense, winning three of them.
Gremio came away as 2-1 winners the last time the two sides clashed back in December 2020. Goals from Dudu and Diego Churin were enough to secure all three points for Gremio, with Gustavo getting on the scoresheet for Atletico Goianiense.
