Grêmio are fifth in the table, but they will feel they have a lot more to give after a fairly underwhelming start to the league season.
The Tricolor have scored just 11 goals in 12 games, which is a poor return given the attacking riches Renato Gaúcho has at his disposal.
Atlético Mineiro are three points better off and, contrary to pre-season expectations, look well placed to mount a decent title bid.
