Fortaleza vs Gremio Prediction and Betting Tips | November 9th 2025

Fortaleza will be looking to begin their surge from the relegation zone when they play host to Gremio in round 33 of the Brasileiro Serie A on Sunday. Gremio have failed to win their last five visits to the Arena Castelao since October 2019 and will head into the weekend looking to end this dry spell.

Fortaleza were involved in a share of the spoils for a third consecutive game on Friday when they played out a 1-1 draw with Ceara after conceding a gut-wrenching 90th-minute equalizer.

With that result, Martin Palermo’s men have failed to win five of their last six outings (2L 3D), although they are now unbeaten in their most recent four games, claiming three draws and one win.

Fortaleza have picked up 29 points from their 31 Serie A matches so far to sit 19th in the standings, only above rock-bottom Sport Recife and five points away from safety.

Elsewhere, Gremio continue to struggle for results in the bottom half of the table as they fell to a 1-0 home defeat at the hands of Cruzeiro on Thursday.

Mano Menezes’ side have now lost all but one of their last four league matches, with a 3-1 victory over 10-man Juventude on October 26 being the exception.

With 39 points from 32 matches, Gremio are currently 14th in the league table, level on points with 13th-placed Ceara but could move level with 10th-placed Vasco da Gama with a win this weekend.
