Palmeiras vs Grêmio Betting Tips
Alviverde took the isolated lead of the tournament by defeating Sao Paulo, in the middle of Morumbi, by 2-0, on the day of number 27. He thus reached 56 points (16 wins, 8 draws and 4 losses). It does not take advantage of punctuation alone. It is the team with the highest number of wins (first tiebreaker criterion) and also a higher goal balance (25), which is the second tiebreaker criterion established by the Brazilian Championship regulations.
This created a very quiet scenario for the match, although Palmeiras has some difficulties to dribble. The first of these is the fact that he can not count on his house. Allianz Parque was once again rented for a music show, causing the team to move to Pacaembu.
Coincidentally, Grêmio never faced the Palmeiras in their stadium in the Brasileirão. In all of the dates that the classic was marked by the tournament the Allianz Park was used for other events.
In addition, coach Luiz Felipe Scolari will have to manage some casualties. Two of them are on the sides. On the right, Marcos Rocha will not be able to act due to the injury. On the left, Víctor Luis is out of action due to suspension by the accumulation of yellow cards. In this case, the situation may worsen, since Diogo Barbosa, who would be the option to vacate, is injured and may not be able to act. Thus improvisation may be necessary.
On the right, the problem can also occur, since Mayke, who would be the first option, is threatened with suspension due to the confusion that occurred in the match for the Brazil Cup with Cruzeiro. In this case, however, there is the option of Jean, who is accustomed to act as right-back.
Another sure loss by suspension is Felipe Melo. Also missing out are striker Borja and defender Gustavo Gomez, who are serving respectively the Colombia and Paraguay teams in the period that FIFA (International Football Federation) has reserved for training and friendlies.
Grêmio was also affected by this problem. He lost defender Kanneman to the Argentina team. Goalkeeper Marcelo Grohe, injured, is also barred for the match. Coach Renato Gaúcho is still at risk of losing right-back Léo Moura and left-back Cortez, who are in the infirmary on injury treatment. Of the defense, the only considered titular that is confirmed for departure is Pedro Geromel.
There are even restrictions for industry composition choices. Ramiro midfielder, for example, who could be moved to the right-back, is also doubtful for the game. In the recovery phase of contusion you will have to undergo further tests to know if you can act. Even if you receive the green light, you will not be in the best of your fitness.All this further complicates a club that was in a difficult situation after the 1-1 draw at home with Bahia on the previous day. With 51 points (14 wins, nine draws and five losses), Grêmio can not even consider the draw an acceptable result in Sunday’s match.
Of breaking, will not yet have striker Everton, who suffered a muscle injury against Bahia and will have to stay about two weeks away. The hope of the gremistas is that the athlete returns in time to dispute the semifinals of the Liberators against River Plate.
