Chapecoense v Grêmio: home momentum meets Sudamericana push | OneFootball

Chapecoense host Grêmio in the Brasileirão at Arena Condá on Monday, 16 March 2026, with the hosts unbeaten at home so far and the visitors looking to cement their early Sudamericana standing.

Chapecoense and Grêmio renew a fixture the visitors have often edged. Across the recorded meetings, Grêmio have six wins to two for the hosts, with four draws, while the most recent game in Chapecó in 2022 finished goalless.

Chape have five points from four league games, scoring eight and conceding eight, and have taken four points from two outings at Arena Condá. Imortal drew 1-1 with RB Bragantino last time in the league and are unbeaten in five across competitions, including victory over Atlético Mineiro.

Chape list defenders Marcos and Mancha, midfielder Bruno Matias, and forwards Maurício Garcez de Jesus and Robert as injured. Imortal report Martin Braithwaite, João Pedro, Arthur, Mathias Villasanti and Gustavo Martins sidelined, which could thin midfield options.

With seven goals scored and five conceded in their two home league games, Verdão do Oeste's matches in Chapecó have been open. Tricolor Gaúcho have nine scored and nine conceded overall, but with no points away yet they may look to control the tempo and use transitions to blunt the hosts' threat.

A home win could nudge Verdão do Oeste towards the top half and closer to the Sudamericana places. Three points for Tricolor Gaúcho would strengthen their position in the continental spots and could move them up the standings early in the campaign.
