ℹ️ Team News: Grêmio

Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just one fitness concern for the Grêmio gaffer Renato Portaluppi to be concerned about from a near full-strength group of players. Felipe Carballo (surgery) misses out.

It’s our opinion that Tricolor dos Pampas will probably go for a 4-3-3 formation in the match and select Agustín Marchesín, João Pedro, Pedro Geromel, Walter Kannemann, Cuiabano, Mathías Villasanti, Du Queiroz, Franco Cristaldo, Cristian Pavón, João Pedro Galvão and Gustavo Nunes.

🗞️ Team News: Atletico PR

Owing to a fully injury-free squad available for selection, the Atletico PR boss Cuca Stival does not have any fitness worries whatsoever ahead of this clash.

It’s our belief that Furação might elect for a 4-4-2 formation, settling for Bento, Leonardo Godoy, Kaique Rocha, Thiago Heleno, Lucas Esquivel, Julimar, Fernandinho, Erick Carvalho, Tomás Cuello, Agustín Canobbio and Pablo.

💡 Prediction

We believe that Atletico PR have enough to put one past this Grêmio outfit, however it realistically won’t be enough to avoid a loss.

We’re going for a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 win for Grêmio at the end of the 90 minutes. Definitely a tough call.
