After securing back-to-back victories in the Brasileiro, Corinthians are eager to maintain their upward trajectory as they face Gremio at Neo Quimica Arena.
After a rough beginning to the season, Corinthians appear to be turning things around as they head into the second half of their campaign. Under Ramon Diaz's guidance, the team has shown significant improvement, securing three wins in their last five games, including consecutive victories since his appointment. These wins have lifted them out of the relegation zone.
With recent impressive performances like their 2-1 win over Criciuma and a surprising 1-0 victory against Bahia on the road, Corinthians are now aiming higher, eyeing potential qualification for continental competitions rather than just avoiding relegation.
On the other hand, Gremio aims to temper this rising optimism as they look to capitalize on their recent 2-0 win over Vitoria. Despite a challenging season so far, which has seen them struggle to replicate last season's success, Gremio's recent victory has provided a glimmer of hope. They seek to build momentum, especially since they have yet to win away from home this season.
Facing Corinthians, who have been formidable at home with an unbeaten record in four games, including two wins, Gremio faces a tough task. They haven't won consecutive league matches since the season began, making their upcoming match against the resurgent Corinthians an uphill battle.
