Gremio host Chapecoense AF in a Serie A fixture that sits at the uncomfortable end of the table for both clubs. Luis Castro's side welcome the league's bottom team to their ground, with the stakes uncomfortably clear for the visitors.
Gremio sit 15th in the Serie A standings, deep in the stretch of the table where the relegation conversation grows louder with each passing week. Castro's squad has been carrying the weight of a difficult run of results, including a 3-0 defeat to Atletico MG earlier this month that underlined the gap between this Gremio side and the division's better teams.
Chapecoense arrive as the league's bottom club, rooted to 20th place and running short on time to reverse their fortunes. Lacerda's side have not won in four consecutive matches, and the pressure of their situation is reflected in every result.
The visitors did show some attacking intent in recent weeks, drawing 3-3 with Bahia in their last Serie A outing. But goals without wins offer little comfort when you are fighting to stay in the division.
Gremio's most recent positive result came against Sao Paulo, a 2-1 Serie A win on August 8 that showed Castro's squad is capable of competing. A cup draw with Internacional last Thursday kept them active across competitions, though it added little in terms of momentum.
For Chapecoense, a win here would not only close the gap on their hosts but send a signal that their survival fight still has life in it. For Gremio, three points would provide breathing room from the drop zone and ease the pressure on Castro.
