Gremio vs Sport Recife Prediction and Betting Tips

Gremio will host Sport Recife at the Arena do Gremio on Sunday in another round of the 2025 Brasileirao Serie A campaign. The hosts will be keen to get back to winning ways and push higher up the league table after a rough few weeks.

Gremio struggled to create chances and were punished for it in their 1-0 loss to Fluminense last weekend to mark their seventh league loss of the season. The Immortal Tricolor, who currently sit in 14th place, just five points clear of the drop zone, are having another tough season, having only won five out of 17 league games played so far. They will be hoping to string together a good run of results in the coming weeks to move into the top half of the table.

Sport Recife are still yet to pick up a league win after 16 games played, but will be somewhat satisfied to have avoided defeat in their last three league outings following Saturday's goalless draw with Bahia. The newly promoted side are languishing at the bottom of the league table with only six points from an obtainable 48 and will need to turn things around soon or risk an early return to Serie B.

Imortal Tricolor are favorites going into the weekend courtesy of home advantage having only lost one of eight home league games so far, but will need to be at their best to get all three points.
