Gremio and Fluminense will battle for three points in a Brasileiro Serie A matchday 31 fixture on Tuesday.
The home side will be looking to return to winning ways following their 1-0 defeat away to Internacional on Saturday. Former Shakthar Donestk stalwart Taison scored the winning goal in the 40th minute.
Fluminense triumphed by the same scoreline over Sport Recife on home turf. David Braz scored a last-gasp winner for the hosts in the sixth minute of injury time.
The victory helped the Tricolor climb to eighth spot in the table with 42 points garnered from 30 matches. Gremio are second from bottom on 26 points.

Gremio vs Fluminense Prediction
The visitors have been the more consistent side but home advantage means that Gremio come into the game as slight favorites to emerge triumphant.
That should count for little though, as their poor run of form does not look likely to end anytime soon. Neither side have sparkled in attack this season and this could be a game of few chances.
We are backing Fluminense to emerge triumphant.
Prediction: Gremio 0-1 Fluminense
