Gremio vs Cruzeiro Prediction and Betting Tips | July 10th 2024

Gremio will entertain Cruzeiro at the Estádio Centenário in the Brazilian Serie A on Wednesday. The hosts have just three wins in the league this season and are in 18th place in the league table. The visitors have fared a little better and are in seventh place with 23 points.

The hosts have just one win in their last nine games in all competitions and in their previous outing, they fell to a 3-0 away loss to Juventude on Sunday. They failed to score for the first time in four games in that loss and will look to return to goalscoring ways.

The visitors returned to winning ways on Sunday after back-to-back losses with a 3-0 home triumph over Corinthians. Matheus Pereira and Álvaro Barreal scored in the first half while Gabriel Veron added the third goal in the second half.

Celeste have seen conclusive results in their last six league outings, with three wins and three losses. They have failed to score in their last two meetings against the hosts and have failed to score in three of their last five away games, which is a cause for concern.
