Fluminense vs Grêmio Prediction: Both teams need points

Fluminense vs Grêmio: Prediction and odds on the Brasileirão match on August 03, 2025

Fluminense and Grêmio will meet at the Maracanã in a match that promises to be a close contest. Both teams have 20 points, but Fluminense has played one game less than Grêmio. Interestingly, coaches Renato Gaúcho and Mano Menezes will face their former clubs.

Fluminense: Form and statistics

Fluminense played two games last week and recorded two distinct results. Renato Gaúcho's men lost 3-1 away to São Paulo, their fourth consecutive league defeat, dropping to 12th place. Fluminense played poorly again, showing problems in defense. Veteran goalkeeper Fábio saved a penalty from Luciano; otherwise, the result could have been even worse. However, in the middle of the week, in the Copa do Brasil, the Cariocas performed differently and secured a crucial 2-1 victory over Internacional at Beira-Rio. It was their first victory since the FIFA Club World Cup. Everaldo was the man of the match, scoring two beautiful goals for the Tricolor das Laranjeiras. The second leg of the Round of 16 is scheduled for next week, and Fluminense's players will try to win without pushing themselves to the limit against Grêmio. Fluminense is out of the title race and will likely prioritize the Copa do Brasil and Copa Sudamericana.

Fluminense: Lineup

Fluminense has some setbacks for this game, especially in defense. Renato Gaúcho should adapt Guga to left back. Freytes and Bernal are suspended.

Grêmio: Form and statistics

The Immortal beat Fortaleza 2-1 at the Arena, breaking a streak of four games without a win in the league. Grêmio did not play brilliantly but took advantage of their opponents' mistakes and secured the lead. Danish striker Braithwaite scored two goals, both from penalties, in the 12th and 17th minutes. Marcão, Fortaleza's goalkeeper, was clumsy and committed two fouls inside the area in five minutes. Marcão's two poor decisions cost his team dearly, giving Grêmio a decisive advantage. The Cearenses managed to reduce the deficit in the 24th minute through Deyverson, but after that, the Gaúchos closed down the paths to their goal. Mano Menezes' team climbed to 14th place and now has a five-point lead over Santos, the first team in the relegation zone. Grêmio is already out of the Copa do Brasil and so had more time than Fluminense to prepare for this game.

Marlon and Olivera are suspended for this match after receiving their third yellow cards.

It's a match between two historic clubs that are having a disappointing season. Fluminense has lost its last four league games, but its cup victory over Internacional in Porto Alegre in midweek has boosted the Cariocas' confidence. Grêmio struggles away from home but has a good record against Fluminense. Both coaches will face their former clubs, which is noteworthy.
