Header vs tackle: the statistics of Grêmio and Inter that Gre-Nal can decide | Brasileirão Serie A

THE give he searched the competition database based on information collected by Rede Globo and found “weapons” for rivals to use and defend themselves this afternoon.

In the local team, Grêmio changed his way of playing in 2020 after the arrival of Diego Souza. The center forward became the team’s top scorer this season with 11 goals. And the passing game became the breakthrough. So much so that Tricolor is the team that leads the most in the Brasileirão, with 32, six from Diego.

But the guild offensive power has little effect in Serie A. It’s the third worst attack of the competition, with 10 goals. In addition, it is third among the teams that finish the most. That is, the aim is not going well in the Arena. Alisson is the one who kicks the most, with 29 attempts.

But if you don’t, Grêmio won’t accept it either. There are 10 goals conceded, second best defense in the championship next to Palmeiras, Fortaleza and Athletico.

• Team with the most headers, with 32 – Diego Souza has 6
• 3rd team to finish the most, with 167 – Alisson has 29
• 3rd worst attack – 10 goals scored
• 2nd best defense – 10 goals conceded

And who has the defensive system with the least leaks? Bury. Vice-leader in the competition, Eduardo Coudet’s team only conceded eight goals in 12 games. The statistic is supported by another characteristic number of the system put in place by the coach: he disarms them.

The Colorados stole the ball 285 times from opponents, the best accumulated in the Brasileirão. The style of pressure on opponents places right-back Saravia at the top of the team, with 37 tackles, fifth on the overall player roster. Behind him, midfielder Boschilia, with 36, appears in sixth place.

However, it is not just by appointment that you become vice-leader. Inter has the second best attack in the championship, with 16 goals, along with Vasco and Fluminenses. More than half of the balls in the net are Brazil’s top scorer, Thiago Galhardo, which made nine. The attacking midfielder also contributed three assists.

The numbers will not enter the field this Saturday, starting at 5:00 p.m., in the Arena. But Grêmio and Inter have enough information to overcome their biggest rival. The tri-color advantage of 10 Gre-Nais without defeat is combustible on both sides. Colorado appears in second place in the table with 21 points. Grêmio is ranked 15th, with 13.

• Most unarmed team, with 285 – Saravia has 37
• Best defense: 8 goals conceded
• 2nd best attack – 16 goals scored
• Top scorer of the competition – Thiago Galhardo, with 9 goals
