Grêmio has arrived in Curitiba for their match against Athletico-PR, part of the Brazilian Championship, facing an uneasy statistic: they have not secured an away victory in 100 days in 2026.
This troubling streak raises concerns among the coaching staff and supporters, as it directly impacts the team’s performance across various competitions.

Along with the challenge of competing away from home, coach Luís Castro is grappling with player absences in all areas of the squad.
The need for constant adjustments and improvisation has been evident, and the unsatisfactory result against Palestino in the Copa Sudamericana, where Grêmio was unable to win, has intensified the pressure for improved outcomes.
The struggle to earn points on the road has hindered Grêmio’s ability to gain consistent ground in the Brasileirão standings.
The match today is viewed as a critical chance to break this streak and instill more stability and confidence within the team.
Players and fans alike are hopeful that the busy schedule in May will bring renewed vigor and, most importantly, put an end to the prolonged drought of away victories, which is vital for Grêmio’s aspirations this season.
