Vitória v Grêmio: home strength meets away struggles in mid-table Brasileirão fight | OneFootball

Vitória host Grêmio in the Brasileirão at Estádio Manoel Barradas on Monday, 7 September 2026, with both aiming to put daylight between themselves and the relegation battle.

Vitória and Grêmio are split by a point in 13th and 15th respectively. The Imortal have largely had the better of recent head to heads, but Leão da Barra have built their season on home form.

Leão da Barra have lost four of their past five in all competitions, the lone win coming against Botafogo. The Tricolor Gaúcho, by contrast, have taken two wins and a draw across their last three outings, though their league away form has struggled.

In terms of personnel, Vitória list seven injuries, including Gabriel Baralhas, Camatunga, Edu, Dudu, Ismael, Nathan Mendes and Anderson Pato. For the visitors, Dodi is out and Marlon is suspended.

The Imortal tend to keep a touch more of the ball with 50% possession and 84.97% passing accuracy, while Leão da Barra average 45% and 80.55%. That tilt could suit Carlos Vinícius, who has 10 league goals this season, with Cristian Pavon a supply line. For the hosts, Renê leads their scoring with five and Erick has provided four assists.

A home win would move Nêgo to 32 points and could nudge them up the table, strengthening their cushion above the bottom four. Three points for the Tricolor Gaúcho would take them to 31 and may carry them further away from the relegation places.
