Grêmio

LLDDDL ⚠

Grêmio won’t want a repeat of their last result here following the 3-2 Copa do Brasil loss in their previous game against CSA.

In that game, Grêmio had 51% possession and 10 shots at goal with 6 on target. For Grêmio, the goals were scored by Martin Braithwaite (23') and Dodi (80'). On the other side, CSA had 12 attempts on goal with 6 of them on target.

It has been all too rare in recent times where Grêmio haven’t conceded. It will be a concern for them that Grêmio have been scored against in 6 of their previous 6 games, letting in 13 goals along the way. In any event, it remains to be seen if the trend might be sustained in this next game.

Coming into this contest, Grêmio have not won at home in their last 2 league matches.

ℹ️ Team News: Grêmio

Rodrigo Ely (Cruciate ligament tear), Cristian Pavón (muscular problems), Francis Amuzu (muscular problems), Mayk (Hamstring injury), Matías Arezo (muscular problems), Alexander Aravena (muscular problems) and Gustavo Martins (Knee injury) won’t be playing for Grêmio gaffer Mano Menezes.

In our view, Tricolor dos Pampas will possibly make use of the 4-2-3-1 system for this game and select Tiago Volpi, João Pedro, Jemerson, Wagner Leonardo, Marlon, Dodi, Gustavo Cuéllar, Edenilson, Franco Cristaldo, Cristian Olivera and Martin Braithwaite.

📋 Team News: Santos

We reckon that Peixe will likely play in a 4-2-3-1 lineup, choosing Gabriel Brazão, Luisão, Zé Ivaldo, Luan Peres, Gonzalo Escobar, Tomas Rincon, Joao Schmidt, Benjamín Rollheiser, Thaciano, Yeferson Soteldo and Deivid Washington.

💡 Prediction

In our view, Santos might well have a job on their hands to put one past this Grêmio lineup who we think should score at least once to put them ahead.

That’s why our selection here is for a 1-0 advantage for Grêmio at the end of the match.

Should be a close one.
