Atlético Goianiense vs Grêmio Prediction: Grêmio is on a six-game losing streak in the league

Grêmio has equaled its worst run of consecutive defeats in the league. That negative mark was recorded in 2004 when the club dropped to the Série B. The Gaúchos are in 19th place with six points, in a relegation position, but they have two games in hand. The Immortal is struggling with the impossibility of using its stadium, which probably won't happen until August.

The Dragon reacted well to the home defeat by Criciúma and the departure of its coach, Jair Ventura. The team managed a 0-0 draw in Cuiabá and had chances to win the game. Atlético was almost always the better team on the pitch and looked physically stronger than its opponent. The Goianos have nine points and are one place above the Z4, in 16th position. Atlético Goianiense needs points to get out of the danger zone, and the team will be looking to beat Grêmio, who is going through a difficult time.

The "Grenal" didn't go well, and the defeat to rival Internacional was the worst thing that could have happened to Grêmio. Without Diego Costa, who is injured, and Soteldo, currently at the Copa América, the Tricolor lost a large part of its attacking power. The Gaúchos have lost star striker Luis Suárez and are far from the team that scored many goals last year. Grêmio will have to sign some more players in the market opening. After the game with Atlético, the Immortal will play five games in a row in Caxias do Sul, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, and will finally be able to train at home in Porto Alegre. Renato Portaluppi's men need to break out of their negative streak, and the match in Goiânia could be the start of a new cycle.

Grêmio must react quickly and stop this terrible losing streak, which doesn't dignify the club's greatness. The Brasileirão is very competitive, and there is a balance between the teams, except for Flamengo and Palmeiras, who are a level above the rest. The Gauchos can't afford to lose in Goiânia, and their experienced coach will certainly make them aware of the importance of the game, so I'm putting my money on a Double Chance for Grêmio.
