Flamengo RJ vs Gremio Prediction & Betting tips
The top game of the 36th game day of the Campeonato A is: Flamengo Vs. Gremio. Only three games left to complete before it is clear who is champion, who descends, who plays in the Copa Sudamericana or as in our game, who may compete in the Copa Libertadores. While Flamengo still has minimal chances for the championship title, Gremio wants to secure a place among the top-4. The bookies consider Flamengo the easy favorite.
Flamengo:
Flamengo can still become master. But in order to do that, they have to hope for several slip-ups from Palmeiras and make up five points themselves. With only three matchdays, this seems rather unrealistic.
Rather, attention should be focused on maintaining a permanent place in the top four. Flamengo must defend his four-point lead over Sao Paulo (5 th place) and his current competitor from Porto Alegre (4 th place) in order to play safely in the Copa Libertadores next season. Lose Flamengo this match and Sao Paulo win his duel against Vasco da Gama, separate all three clubs only a single counter. All the more important is this match day for each participating team.
For Flamengo the last matchdays were promising. On the home stretch since the beginning of October, only one game was lost. Five of the last eight duels were won. The team from Rio de Janeiro owes second place to their loyal fans. In 17 home games only two defeats had to be coped. Under the new coach Dorival Junior, who took over the team after leaving the Copa do Brasil, it seems to be going better.
Must renounce “Mengao” on Lucas Paqueta. In the game against Sport Recife he saw the yellow-red card and is now damned to watch. With his ten goals he is the top scorer of his club. In addition, he opened a goal and is thus involved in every fifth goal of the junior team. Against the defensively strong guests, the absence of Lucas at Flamengo Vs. Gremio’s bets on the hosts did not particularly favor.
Gremio:
Gremio is also in very good shape, having scored 62 points after 35 match days. The goal difference is 47:25. Thus, the Gaucho team behind Palmeiras the second best defensive of the entire league. The last four league games were all not lost. Three of them were even won. In addition, there is an important point against Sao Paulo (away 1: 1). All in all, this seems to be an open game.
In 2018 both teams already played against each other three times. In the Copa do Brasil quarter-final first leg they parted with a 1: 1 draw in Porto Alegre. On the 17th day of the Campeonato A won “Imortal Tricolor” 2-0. The return match in Copa do Brasil won Flamengo in Maracana 1-0, reaching the semi-finals. The balance 2018: One win for both teams and a draw.
As the direct comparison, the current balance sheet and form illustrates, we hold at Flamengo Vs. Gremio the betting odds in the 1X2 range for fairly accurate and will therefore tip our tip in the “Over / Under” market.
Coach Renato Gaucho has to do without Luan, Walter Kannemann (still on international duty with Argentina) and keeper Marcelo Grohe.
