Palmeiras v Grêmio: leaders host away-day strugglers | OneFootball

Palmeiras face Grêmio in the Brasileirão on Friday, 3 April 2026 in Barueri, with the leaders looking to cement top spot and the visitors aiming to steady their form after a mixed run.

Recent head-to-heads have been tight. Grêmio won 3-2 at home last season, while Palmeiras edged the reverse 1-0.

Verdão have won four of their past five matches, including away at São Paulo, with the only setback at Vasco da Gama. Imortal have drawn three of their last five, beat Vitória at home and lost at Vasco, and are winless away in the Brasileirão with only one point on the road.

Porco are without Piquerez, Paulinho and Vitor Roque through injury. Tricolor Gaúcho also miss João Pedro, Arthur, Villasanti, Marlon and Leonel Pérez.

At home, Verdão have scored 10 and conceded only three this season, a platform that could let them impose the game. Imortal have managed three goals and shipped seven away, so they may need to be clinical in transition.

A win would lift Verdão to 22 points and could tighten their grip on first place in the title race. Victory for Imortal would take them to 14 points and could move them up the table, keeping them in the Copa Sudamericana places and edging them closer to the Libertadores spots.
