On Wednesday, Gremio will aim to maintain their chances of qualifying for Copa Libertadores as they host Athletico Paranaense.

Honestly, the hosts are experiencing an unforgettable season in the Brazilian top division. The team known as the “Greatest of the South” has surpassed all expectations after being promoted from Serie B last year. Renato Gaúcho’s squad initially aimed to avoid relegation this season, but they now find themselves within reach of the prestigious Libertadores tournament.

Last season, Athletico Paranaense had their most successful Serie A finish in three years. However, they have struggled to maintain that momentum this season and currently sit in eighth place. Their struggles have been particularly evident in their away performances, with only three out of their eleven victories occurring on the road. Despite this, the team can draw confidence from their recent win at the Arena do Gremo as they head into their upcoming game.
