Betting on Gremio
The latest match of Gremio was the second leg of the Campeonato Gaúcho final, in which the team was crowned champion after defeating Caixas 2-1 on aggregate (1-1 in the first leg; 1-0 last week in the second leg).
It’s definitely a relief for a team that isn’t playing in either the Copa Sudamericana or the Libertadores this season. However, before facing Santos, it must first face ABC in the third matchday of the Copa de Brasil. This is an obstacle that is expected to be easily overcome without breaking a sweat.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Adriel; Joao Pedro, Bruno Alves, Walter Kannemann, Reinaldo; Mathías Villasanti, Felipe Carballo; Bitello, Franco Cristaldo, Fina; Luis Suárez.
Betting on Club Santos Laguna
Santos played its last game this week, defeating Botafogo RP 2-0 on the road in the third matchday of the Copa do Brasil. Last week, it also played on enemy grounds, but in Bolivia, where it emerged victorious by 1-0 against Blooming in the Copa Sudamericana.
Although the first game was in Sao Paulo state, playing at high altitude in La Paz affects the players’ physical performance. Therefore, we’ll have to see if Odair Hellman, the Santos coach, decides to field the usual starting 11, considering they’ll play in the Copa Sudamericana midweek (against Audax Italiano at home on Thursday, April 20).
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Joao Paulo; Nathan, Messias, Eduardo, Felipe Jonatan; Camacho, Douglas Moreira, Lucas Barbosa; Lucas Lima, Marcos Leonardo, Ivonei Rabelo.
JefeBet Prediction
Gremio has a less demanding schedule compared to its opponent Santos. Moreover, it has the offensive prowess of the Uruguayan striker, Luis Suárez. Therefore, at JefeBet, we’re confident that Gremio will clinch the three points in this upcoming Gremio vs Santos exciting clash
