Latest football review Cruzeiro vs Gremio

Flamengo have been on hiatus since their last game on June 1st due to their participation in the Club World Cup, and it seemed like a golden opportunity for Cruzeiro to move to the top of the table. However, the team only managed to get 1 point in a draw with Vitoria in the middle of last month, missing that precious opportunity.

However, compared to the last two seasons when they finished in the middle of the table, Cruzeiro’s performance in the first 12 rounds of the 2025 season has been very encouraging. They have had 7 wins, 3 draws and only 2 defeats – a strong start to the championship race.

The draw against Vitoria marked Leonardo Jardim's side's seventh consecutive match unbeaten in Serie A (W5 D2), including five clean sheets. Cruzeiro have conceded just eight goals so far – one of the best defences in the league – while scoring 17, half of which came from Kaio Jorge. The striker is second in the scoring charts, just one goal behind Giorgian de Arrascaeta.

Home form is a big asset for Cruzeiro. They are unbeaten in all six games played at the Estadio Governador Magalhaes Pinto, winning five and drawing one, while scoring at least two goals in four of their last home games.

Meanwhile, Gremio may have been affected by the break for the Club World Cup, just when they were on a strong recovery. Before the break, the team had won 7 points after 3 matches - a remarkable achievement compared to the 9 points won from the first 9 rounds of the season.

In the most recent round, Gremio drew 1-1 with Corinthians. Former Espanyol striker Martin Braithwaite continued his impressive scoring form with his third goal in the last three matches in the tournament.

Since Mano Menezes took over on 21 April, Gremio have lost just one of their first seven Serie A games (W3 D3). Notably, he also helped the team to their first away win in the competition since September last year, beating Juventude 2-0 just before the mid-season break.
