O Grêmio chega à rodada decisiva contra o Coritiba carregando uma sequência que já igualou a pior do clube em 2026: sete partidas sem vencer, mesmo número do jejum que durou de maio a agosto, ainda sob comando de Luís Castro.
Desde que Renato Portaluppi voltou, são três empates e uma derrota. Na última rodada, em 18/10, o time perdeu por 2 a 4 para o Cruzeiro, na Arena.
O recorte histórico assusta. A maior seca da última década veio em 2021, temporada do rebaixamento mais recente (o terceiro da história), com nove jogos sem vitória entre junho e julho: quatro empates e cinco derrotas. A atual começou em 7 de setembro, com o 1 a 0 sofrido para o Vitória, no Barradão, e seguiu com o 2 a 1 para o Vasco, em casa, resultado que derrubou o técnico.
De forma interina, Felipão comandou a equipe na derrota diante do Botafogo, no Engenhão — Renato estava no banco, como auxiliar. No total, a seca soma quatro derrotas e três empates, todos pelo Brasileirão, competição em que o clube é o 18º, com 31 pontos.
A tabela de problemas não para por aí. O Tricolor ainda não venceu fora de casa na Série A de 2026: longe da Arena acumula dez derrotas e cinco empates, 11% de aproveitamento, o pior visitante do campeonato. Em casa, a última vitória foi em 30 de agosto, 3 a 1 sobre a Chapecoense; depois disso, dois empates e duas derrotas, a pior série do ano no estádio.
A próxima tentativa é nesta segunda-feira, às 19h30 (horário de Brasília), contra o Coritiba, no Couto Pereira.
