The Immortal lost 1-0 to Fluminense at the Maracanã to continue its disappointing campaign. It was another lackluster performance from the Gaúchos, who didn't hit the target once in nine shots. Grêmio has scored a mere 16 goals in 17 games. Only Juventude and Sport have worse results, which is concerning. Mano Menezes' team does not defend badly, but lacks creativity in the final third of the field. Everaldo scored Fluminense's goal in the 44th minute, and in the second half, Grêmio was harmless. The striker could have even scored a second goal, but missed a penalty, shooting wide. It was Grêmio's second consecutive 1-0 defeat on the road. Grêmio is in 14th place with 20 points, and the situation could get complicated with two or three bad results. It is vital to beat Sport Recife, so far the weakest team in the Brasileirão. A negative result against the bottom team could affect the confidence of Grêmio's players.

Sport Recife: Form and statistics
The Lion of the North drew 0-0 at home to Bahia in the last round. Sport is yet to win in the league and will remain at the bottom of the table if the streak continues. On the bright side, the Pernambucanos are unbeaten in three games, and a draw with the fourth-placed team cannot be considered a bad result. Since coach Daniel Paulista arrived at the club, Sport has recorded three draws and two defeats in five games. It is not an impressive start, but Sport lost to champion Botafogo in the last minute and came very close to defeating Santos. There has been a clear improvement, although Sport Recife needs to turn its performances into wins. The Nordeste team will make a long trip to Porto Alegre in search of its first victory in the competition. As the first half of the Série A season concludes, Sport Recife fans hope the match against Grêmio will mark a turning point.

Grêmio vs Sport Recife match prediction 11 August 2025
Grêmio continues to underperform in this league. Results have improved slightly since Mano Menezes arrived at the club, but performances have been lackluster. Sport has yet to win a game in the league but has drawn the last three. The first victory seems imminent, so it's time to get it done. It is difficult to predict when that might happen, but Sport's recent history at the Arena do Grêmio increases the Pernambucanos' chances in this game. I am inclined to bet on a surprise, and so I will go for a Double Chance favorable to Sport.
