They have taken just 3 points from their last 5 matches and arrive at this fixture on a run of 3 consecutive defeats, their most recent results including losses to Botafogo, Vasco DA Gama and Vitoria.
The head-to-head record from earlier this season also favours the visitors. When the two sides met on 3 April 2026, Palmeiras won 2-1.
With Gremio sitting in the bottom third of the table on 28 points and Palmeiras occupying second place on 56 points, Sunday's match represents a significant test for the home side.
