Gremio vs Fortaleza Prediction and Betting Tips | July 29th 2025

The Brasileiro Serie A returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Gremio and Fortaleza go head-to-head on Tuesday. Renato Paiva’s men have failed to win their last six visits to the Arena do Gremio since May 2012 and will be looking to end this dry spell.

Gremio failed to arrest their slump in form on Sunday as they fell to a 1-0 defeat against Palmeiras, courtesy of an early strike from Facundo Torres at Allianz Parque.

Mano Menezes’ side have now failed to taste victory in five consecutive games (3L, 2D), a run which has seen them crash out of the Copa Sudamericana after losing 3-1 on aggregate against Peruvian outfit Alianza Lima.

Gremio have picked up 17 points from their 15 Serie A matches so far to sit 14th in the league standings, level on points with 15th-placed Vitoria.

Elsewhere, Fortaleza turned in an attacking show of class at the weekend, when they cruised to a 3-1 victory over Red Bull Bragantino at Arena Castelao.

Paiva’s men had failed to win their previous nine matches across all competitions, losing eight and picking up one draw. They were unbeaten in seven games preceding this run (2W, 5D).

With just 14 points from 15 league matches, Fortaleza are currently 18th in the Serie A standings, one point behind 16th-placed Vasco da Gama, who sit just outside the relegation zone.

Gremio vs Fortaleza Head-To-Head and Key Numbers

• With six wins from the last 16 meetings between the sides, Gremio holds a slightly superior record in the history of this fixture.
• Fortaleza have picked up four wins in that time, while the spoils have been shared on six occasions.
• Gremio are on a run of nine back-to-back home games without defeat, claiming four wins and five draws since April’s 2-0 defeat against Flamengo.
• Fortaleza have failed to win their last 14 away matches across all competitions, losing seven and picking up seven draws since beating Sport Recife 2-0 in the Copa do Nordeste back in February.

Gremio vs Fortaleza Prediction

Buoyed by their victory over Bragantino, Fortaleza will head into Tuesday’s game in high spirits as they look to put together a fine run of form and steer clear of the danger zone. However, Gremio have been rock-solid at home this year and we are tipping them to secure all three points.

Prediction: Gremio 2-0 Fortaleza
