Gremio vs Corinthians Prediction and Betting Tips | August 7th 2024
Gremio and Corinthians lock horns at the Couto Pereira Stadium in the second leg of their Copa do Brasil round-of-16 clash on Wednesday. Having played out a goalless draw in last week’s reverse leg, we expect both sides to go all out for the win here as they look to reach the quarter-finals.
Gremio turned in a solid team display as they secured a 2-0 victory over Athletico Paranaense in their Serie A clash at the Arena da Baixada on Sunday.
Renato Portaluppi’s side have now gone five consecutive matches without defeat across all competitions, picking up three wins and two draws since a 1-0 loss against Sao Paulo on June 18.
Gremio now turn their sights to the Copa do Brasil, where they held firm to see out a goalless draw with Cortinthans at the Neo Química Arena in last Thursday’s first leg.
Meanwhile, Corinthians continue to struggle for results at the wrong end of the Serie A table and could only salvage a 1-1 draw at home against nine-man Juventude last time out.
Ramón Diaz’s men have failed to win four straight games across all competitions, losing once and picking up three draws since a 1-0 victory over Bahia on July 21.
This poor run of results has seen Corinthians plunge into the Serie A relegation zone as they currently sit 18th in the table with 20 points from 21 games. Gremio are 14th with 21 points.
