Sao Paulo vs Gremio Prediction & Betting tips
In Brazil, the 34th matchday is on. Only five duels each will decide who will become champion, who will descend and who will move into the Copa Libertadores or the Copa Sudamericana. A hot duel for the Copa Libertadores is on 15.11 .: Sao Paulo vs.. Gremio. While both teams have already secured the Copa Sudamericana, it is now about who qualifies directly for the Copa Libertadores. Both teams have the same score on the account. Gremio has won one more game and is currently in fourth place. We expect a so-called “six-point game” two table neighbors. The bookmakers see the odds relatively balanced.
Sao Paulo:
Also in Sao Paulo, the Brazilian rule of thumb came true that a win out of six games is not enough to keep his job as head coach. Shortly after the 1-1 draw against Corinthians coach Aguirre was dismissed and the youth coach Andre Jardine temporarily took over the post of head coach. Critics accuse him of lack of experience in professional football. Brazilian media in turn see him as the hottest candidate to be coach of Sao Paulo again in the new season; provided the qualification for the Copa Libertadores succeeds.
Currently, Sao Paulo is one with less victory and 58 points equal to the Porto Alegre side. A win is therefore mandatory to pass the Gaucho Elf. However, the last nine games do not leave much hope. Only one victory could be retracted. This succeeded with a 1-0 against the current table-18. Accordingly, the balance is negative. That victory is offset by two defeats and six draws. It should be noted that both defeats against the first of the table (Palmeiras) or second-placed (Internacional) were retracted. Once again a testament to how thin-skinned the executive floors in Brazil are.
Nevertheless, the last home win dated 09.09.2018. At the end it was 1-0 against Bahia. In our opinion, Sao Paulo is against. Gremio a tip on the “Tricolor” due to the high odds quite conceivable. However, the environment, the mental strength of the team and the form last shown raise doubts.
Gremio:
Gremio is fourth on the table and would be qualified for the Copa Libertadores 2019. But until then it is still a long way. On the 34th match day it goes to the direct pursuers from Sao Paulo. Despite the dismissal of the coach and the recently rather meager performances, the gaucho-elf should be on guard.
Judging by the performance shown last, a tip on Gremio would be the logical consequence. In the Campeonato Brasileiro, they won twice in a row. 1: 0 was won against Atletico-MG. Afterwards, they defeated Table 15 at home. Vasco with 2: 1. The fear of morally kinking after the last-minute goal in the Copa Libertadores was not confirmed. A 1: 1 against River Plate from Argentina would have been enough to make it to the final. However, the 1-0 lead was turned into a 1: 2 in the 95th minute. But Gremio proved Moral and puts the focus now only on Serie A to participate in the next year in the South American Champions League.
Like Sao Paulo, Gremio lost very few games in recent weeks. There are only two defeats away since the end of August. The opponents were also Palmeiras (1st) and Internacional (2nd).
