Fluminense haven't beaten Grêmio away in over six years | OneFootball

In the fight for a direct spot in the next edition of the Copa Libertadores, Fluminense will try to break a significant taboo against Grêmio this Tuesday, at the Arena, starting at 9:30 PM (Brasília time). The Carioca Tricolor has not been able to defeat the Gaúcho Tricolor as visitors for more than six years.

The last victory of Fluminense as visitors against Grêmio was on May 5, 2019, in a historic match that ended 5 to 4 for the Cariocas. In that match, Colombian Yony González scored twice – including the winning goal at 47 minutes of the second half – and was the highlight for the Tricolor.

Recent record favors Grêmio

Since then, the teams have faced each other five times with Grêmio as the host, achieving an incredible five victories.

The last two matches in this condition were not played at Grêmio's Arena due to the floods that hit Rio Grande do Sul last year: for the 2024 Brasileirão, Grêmio won 1-0 at the Estádio Centenário. Then, in the Copa Libertadores, another Gaúcho triumph by 2-1, this time at the Estádio Couto Pereira.
