Betting on Cruzeiro
Cruzeiro dominated the 2022 Serie B, finishing as the leader with a 13-point lead over its closest rival, which happens to be its opponent this time around. However, its start in Brazil’s top league wasn’t the best, suffering a 2-1 defeat against Corinthians, a reality check that shows its stay in the top flight won’t be an easy ride.
In fact, Cruzeiro’s recent results haven’t been the most convincing, losing four of the last five matches in all competitions. Additionally, the team has gone five official matches without a win at home, which is a trend it wants to change in this Saturday’s game.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Rafael Cabral; William, Lucas Oliveira, Luciano Castan, Marlon; Ramiro, Richard; Wesley, Mateus Vital, Bruno Rodrigues; Gilberto.
Betting on Gremio
Unlike its upcoming opponent, Gremio had an impressive start to the Brasileirao, beating Santos by a narrow margin in a match it had the chance to play at home. Now, the team will be hitting the road to try to maintain a series of good results in the league, and it has every reason to be optimistic based on its recent performances.
This is so because Gremio has not lost in the last 5 matches, winning 4 of them, which allowed the team to be crowned champion of the Gaucho tournament. Although it is a minor competition compared to the first division, it serves as a confidence booster for this kind of game.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Adriel; Joao Pedro, Bruno Alves, Walter Kannemann, Diogo Barbosa; Bitelo, Mathias Villasanti; Vina, Franco Cristaldo, Zinho; Luis Suarez.
JefeBet Prediction
The visiting team has only lost one of its last 13 games played away, which is an impressive record as it heads into this new match on the road.
This is especially noteworthy because the home team did not start on the right foot and has not achieved the best results to think that it can win decisively against an opponent that has quality players on its roster.
Given these circumstances, it is expected that Gremio will put up a fight in this matchday 2’s Cruzeiro vs Gremio encounter of the Brazilian first division.
Prediction: Gremio Asian Handicap (CRU 0-1 GRE).
