Gremio vs Palmeiras Prediction & Betting tips
Last year, the Copa Libertadores was dominated mainly by Argentine teams. Four Argentinean teams were still in the quarter-finals, so the finals in 2018 between the two rivals from Buenos Aires was not surprising. In this year’s edition of the South American premier league, however, the action is so far dominated by the Brazilians.
Four Brazilian teams are in the quarter-finals of the Copa Libertadores, but Brazil’s representatives are all in competition. At the showdown of the Brazilians in the quarter and semi-final of the South American premier class, but it will at least create a team in the final. In the quarter-final match between Gremio vs. Palmeiras makes a forecast on a winner very difficult.
Both teams met each other on the weekend. The dress rehearsal before the showdown in the Copa Libertadores ended with a division of points. Both teams renounced numerous top performers, which is why the draw has little meaning.
At the current low of Palmeiras the fluctuations in bookmaker prices are hardly surprising. If you look at Palmeiras’ recent eighth-final performance, Gremio can certainly win, even though the home side were able to shine with a strong home form.
Gremio:
For the “Imortal Tricolor” the new competitive season is a real roller coaster ride. In the domestic league it is not really round, which confirms the balance of 4-6-5. In the Brazilian Cup, however, Gremio is only one step away from the finals. At least on the international stage, the team of coach Renato Portaluppi knew how to convince.
Gremio fought his way into the quarter-finals of the premier class and now meets on the league rivals Palmeiras. Already last weekend, the two teams faced each other, but largely renounced their top performers. The 1: 1 draw is not very meaningful for a panel against Palmeiras forecast due to the strong rotation.
In front of home crowd, the “Imortal Tricolor” has been unbeaten in all competitions for eleven home matches. The series continues to expand against Palmeiras in the Copa Libertadores. So far this year Gremio has lost only against Fluminense (4: 5), Santos (1: 2) and Libertad Asuncion (0: 1) at home.
Outstanding star in the ranks of Gremio is undoubtedly winger Everton. The 23-year-old Brazilian made a formidable performance in Copa America and is already in the radar of many European top clubs. At the weekend, the star player was spared for long stretches and came only in the final quarter hour to use.
With Michel, Vizeu and Oliveira, three players will miss the game against Palmeiras during the week due to injury. Renato Gaucho will be able to cope with the losses, but his options are limited.
Palmeiras:
For the Brazilian record champions it is currently anything but round. The “Verdao” is in a form low and could not handle the triple burden of South American premier class, Copa do Brasil and the Brazilian Campeonato A. Accordingly, it was not surprising that only one of the last nine competitive matches was won.
The achievements of Palmeiras should be under no circumstances diminished. Even with the home strong Corinthians could the “Verdao” keep up well and get an important point. In the second round of the Copa Libertadores against Godoy Cruz, the Brazilian champions had also no problems and sat down impressively with a 4-0 home win.
Despite the form low, Palmeiras remains the hottest title contender this season. With 30 points, the “Verdao” in the domestic league is only two points behind leaders Santos. On international stage Palmeiras waits since 1999 for the big coup. Last season, Palmeiras had to cut the sails in the semi-final against Boca Juniors.
With the Brazilian duel against Gremio the team of Scolari expects no easy task. In the first leg, especially the important away goal will be the goal of “Verdao”. Vitor Hugo and Ricardo Goulart will miss the game in the South American premier league due to injury. In contrast to the League duel on the weekend Scolari will of course send his best squad on the pitch.
