Grêmio v Palmeiras: title push meets survival fight in the Brasileirão | OneFootball

Grêmio host Palmeiras in the Brasileirão on Sunday, 20 September 2026 at the Arena do Grêmio, with the visitors chasing the leaders and the hosts trying to stay above the relegation line.

Grêmio have lost their last three league games, while Palmeiras are unbeaten in their past four in the Brasileirão and won the reverse fixture 2-1.

Imortal are strong at home, with all seven league wins coming in Porto Alegre. They are without Dodi, Marlon and Francis Amuzu. For Verdão, Murilo is suspended, while Paulinho, Ramón Sosa and Jefté are injured, which could reshape Abel Ferreira's back line and wide options.

Tricolor Gaúcho have scored 30 and conceded 38 this season, so Carlos Vinícius's 10 league goals loom large. Palestra have netted 47 and conceded only 21 with 11 clean sheets. José Manuel Lopez has eight league goals, and Andreas Pereira is second in the assists chart with 10, while Maurício has seven.

A victory would take Verdão to 59 points and strengthen their title push. Three points for Imortal would move them to 31 and could open up daylight on the relegation places.
