Sao Paulo vs Gremio Prediction and Betting Tips | July 17th 2024
Sao Paulo will host Gremio at the Estádio Cicero Pompeu de Toledo on Wednesday in another round of the 2024 Brasileirao Serie A campaign. The home side have enjoyed a largely solid league campaign and now sit sixth in the table with 27 points from 16 games as they continue their push for the Copa Libertadores places.
They were beaten 2-1 by Atletico Mineiro in their last match, finding themselves a goal down at the break before a red card to Alan Franco at the hour mark all but scuppered their chances of a positive result on the road.
Gremio, meanwhile, have struggled for results in the league this season despite positive results in cup and continental football. They were beaten 2-0 by Cruzeiro last time out, going two goals down in the opening 20 minutes of the game and had good chances to get on the scoresheet themselves but failed to convert.
The visitors sit 18th in the league table with just 11 points from 14 matches. They are just three points above last-placed Fluminense and will be desperate for a positive result here.
