Gremio vs Operario Prediction

Gremio have made a poor start to this season and are in danger of being relegated to Serie B for the fourth time in their history. They are seeking to win a sixth Copa do Brasil title and first since 2016. However, they will have to put their recent form behind them if they are to advance to the next round.

Operario, for their part, are competing in Serie B following their promotion from the third division last term. They have been relatively impressive in the league and claimed a memorable draw at home in the first leg. They are winless in their last three games and are the underdogs in this match, but will be quietly optimistic of eliminating their more illustrious hosts.

We are backing the home side to advance with a narrow win in addition to a clean sheet.

Prediction: Gremio 1-0 Operario
