Match Preview

The home side have lost just two of their last 25 home matches in all competitions, which is quite a staggering record to boast ahead of our Gremio vs Cruzeiro preview that helps us to choose the best football betting odds.

The hosts are unbeaten in their last four consecutive matches at Arena do Gremio, but they only managed to keep just one clean sheet in the process, meaning that they will need to make a conscious effort to tighten up to deny an away goal.

Cruzeiro, meanwhile, have won just one of their last four away fixtures in the Brazilian top flight. Avai and Sao Paulo have both beaten them, with a 3-0 win over Vasco da Game the only real positive heading into this tie, affecting our Gremio vs Cruzeiro predictions.

The visitors have scored five goals in their last two away matches, but their form has generally dipped of late. Currently, Cruzeiro sit in ninth place in the Brazilian top flight, winning one of their last eight in all competitions.

At home, Cruzeiro are generally hard to beat, and Gremio will be aware of this fact in our football match prediction - adding further importance to pulling off a good result in this opening leg.

Gremio vs Cruzeiro Prediction and Betting Advice

Gremio haven’t lost at home in the Copa do Brasil since the summer of 2015, while it has been away jaunts that have cost their opponents in this competition due to drawing, making the 1.7 home win offered by Betway excellent value.

According to our Gremio vs Cruzeiro picks, the home side know they need to pull off a good result and it looks incredibly likely when you take the visitors’ recent dip in form into account.
