Team News: Grêmio
Igor Serrote (Wrist fracture), Gustavo Martins (Knee injury), João Lucas (muscular problems), Cristian Olivera (Stomach flu), Mayk (Hamstring injury), Rodrigo Ely (Cruciate ligament tear), Edenilson (Thigh problems) and Gustavo Cuéllar (muscular problems) will not be taking part for Grêmio boss Mano Menezes.
It’s our opinion that Tricolor dos Pampas could employ a 4-2-3-1 formation, handing starts to Tiago Volpi, João Pedro, Walter Kannemann, Wagner Leonardo, Marlon, Dodi, Mathías Villasanti, Alysson Edward, Miguel Monsalve, Alexander Aravena and Martin Braithwaite.

Team News: Bahia
Bahia boss Rogério Ceni has to choose a team with limited availability. André Dhominique (Cruciate ligament injury), Rezende (Lumbar vertebra problems), Ademir (Muscle injury), Kanu (Muscle injury), Ronaldo (Hamstring injury) and Santiago Arias (Hamstring injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.
There’s a good chance that Tricolor de Aço might utilise a 4-4-2 lineup, starting the game with Marcos Felipe, Gilberto, David Duarte, Santi Ramos Mingo, Luciano Juba, Caio Alexandre, Erick Carvalho, Everton Ribeiro, Cauly, Luciano Rodríguez and Erick Pulga.

Prediction
We feel that in this game, Bahia certainly have the ability to find the net against this Grêmio lineup, but that probably shouldn’t be enough to avoid a loss.
We reckon that it will be a 2-1 win for Grêmio by the time that the referee blows the final whistle. Could easily see this go either way.
