Palmeiras vs Gremio Prediction & Betting tips
In Brazil’s Serie A, Palmeiras faces Gremio this weekend. While the team of Felipe Scolari enthroned in the first place, the team from Porto Alegre lurking with only five points in fifth place. An away win and the gap is only two counters. Gremio would be right back in the title fight.
Palmeiras:
Palmeiras is in first place in the Brazilian Serie A with a goal balance of 43:18 and 56 points. Verdao is in impressive form. The White Greens have been unbeaten in seven games. In the last eleven games, they only suffered one defeat. Considering only Serie A and leaving out the cup competitions, Palmeiras has been unbeaten in the last 13 games. The last bankruptcy was against Fluminese in late July. The Scolari squad could thus theoretically go with confidence into the game against the pursuers from Porto Alegre.
However, Scolari will have to do without left-back Victor Luis (yellow card suspension), Felipe Melo (also suspended) and right-back Rocha (calf injury). In addition, players Mayke and Diogo Barboso are missing (two games each lock due to the incidents in the cup match against Gremio). On top of that, Miguel Borja (Colombia) and Gustavo Gomez (Paraguay) were made available to their national teams. However, Gomez could make it timely to return in time. Whether he will play then, is questionable because of the travel stress.
We summarize: Verdao does not play in the usual own stadium and has to do without up to seven important players!
Gremio:
The Gaucho troupe is also a little decimated. Keeper Marcelo Grohe, Leo Moura, Ramiro, Cortez and Everton (with eight goals and three assists the main man of coach Gaucho) are all still injured or injured and will not run against Verdao. In addition there is defender Kannemann, who was turned off for the Argentine national team. Thus, “Rei de Copas” have to give up a few regular players. Almost the entire defensive is incomplete.
We think that both teams have to carry their own parcel. The lost home advantage and the many failures on both sides remove certain advantages for each team, so they are likely to make up for it.
Apart from the injury worries, Gremio can look back on an impressive series. They have not been beaten in the last six games. Five of the last six games have all been won.
