Fortaleza will be looking to begin their surge from the relegation zone when they host 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 be aiming to end this dry spell this weekend.
Fortaleza were involved in a share of the spoils for a third consecutive game on Friday, playing 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 (2 losses, 3 draws), although they remain unbeaten in their most recent four games, securing three draws and one win.
The team has picked up 29 points from their 31 Serie A matches so far and currently sits 19th in the standings—just above rock-bottom Sport Recife and five points adrift of safety.
Meanwhile, Gremio continue to struggle for results in the bottom half of the table, having fallen to a 1-0 home defeat to Cruzeiro on Thursday. Mano Menezes’ side have lost all but one of their last four league matches, with a 3-1 victory over 10-man Juventude on October 26 being the lone exception.
With 39 points from 32 matches, Gremio currently occupies 14th place in the league table, level on points with 13th-placed Ceara. A win this weekend could see them move level with 10th-placed Vasco da Gama.

### Fortaleza vs Gremio Prediction
