Team News: Grêmio
Regarding absentees, there’s just a single fitness concern for the Grêmio boss Renato Portaluppi to be concerned with from of an almost fully healthy squad. Felipe Carballo (surgery) will miss out.
We think that Tricolor dos Pampas will probably go for a 4-3-3 formation for the game and select Agustín Marchesín, Fabio da Silva, Pedro Geromel, Gustavo Martins, Cuiabano, Mathías Villasanti, Dodi, Franco Cristaldo, Gustavo Nunes, João Pedro Galvão and Yeferson Soteldo.
