Match Preview

The top two clubs in Brasileiro Série A are featured in this week’s expert Corinthians vs Grêmio preview and the home team can open up a colossal twelve point gap over the visitors should they manage to pick up the points on Thursday. After a blazing start to 2017, Corinthians are stuttering over the line somewhat having won just once in five matches.

Their home form plays a key part in our Corinthians vs Grêmio betting tips, however – they have suffered defeat just twice in fourteen league matches in front of their own passionate fans. The most worrying aspect of the Timo do Povo’s recent performances has been their efforts in front of goal. They have scored one goal or less in ten of their last eleven fixtures.

The visitors from Porto Alegre will be as surprised as anyone to still find themselves in the second spot in Série A. Renato Portaluppi’s side have won just four times in their last twelve. They have lost half of their last eight fixtures all told. When our featured clubs last met in June, the champions-elect came away with the points thanks to an early second-half goal from Jadson. Luan missed a late penalty for the hosts in the eighty-fourth minute.

Corinthians vs Grêmio Prediction and Betting Advice

Clashes between title rivals are usually close affairs and the clash scrutinised in today’s Corinthians vs Grêmio bets is no different. The goals have dried up quite drastically for both clubs over the past couple of months. As we detailed earlier, Corinthians have scored a goal or less in ten of their last eleven matches. Surprisingly, Grêmio can trump that trump that statistic – they have scored one goal or less in thirteen of their last fourteen.

The clubs have a serious lack of cutting edge in forward areas at present and their head-to-head record further supports our forecast. In three of the last four meetings between this Brazilian powerhouses, there have been under 2.5 goals scored. Bet-at-home’s latest football betting odds for there to be little to no goalmouth action are wonderfully narrow, so get on over there and take those prices while they are still available.

We’re tipping the home team to come out on top in the final entry in our Corinthians vs Grêmio predictions. The away team’s 1-0 win at second from bottom Coritiba on Sunday was their first away win in seven outings. It was also their first away goal in that time. Their problems on the road have been consistently hampering their title aspirations in 2017. They have only won 50% of their contests outside Porto Alegre.

The Timo do Povo haven’t lost in seven at home to Grêmio. They have lost just twice in seventeen matches at their own stadium overall and though they will need to find their goal-scoring touch and reignite some of their attacking play, they should have enough to edge out their opponents this week.
