Grêmio head into this game after a 1-1 Serie A tied result against Bahia.

In that game, Grêmio had 40% possession and 3 shots on goal with 1 of them on target. The scorer for Grêmio was Viery (62'). On the other side, Bahia got 17 shots at goal with 6 on target. Mateo Sanabria (72') scored for Bahia.

Their latest results show that things are going according to plan in the Grêmio rearguard. Grêmio have been stingy, with the total number of goals that have gone past their goalkeeper over the course of their previous 6 games standing at 1.

Palestino

LWLDLW

Palestino head into the clash after a 5-1 Campeonato Nacional win to defeat Deportes La Serena in their previous outing.

The only name on the scoresheet from Palestino was Bryan Carrasco (7'). Ángelo Henríquez (86') was the scorer for Deportes La Serena.

The trend of at least one side getting a clean sheet in games featuring Palestino has become apparent of late. A glance at their last six games reveals that it’s occurred 5 times. In those clashes, their opponents have hit a goal tally of 5 while Palestino have scored 6. Still, it remains to be seen whether such a trend might be maintained here in this game or not.

🤜🤛 Head to head

The previous league fixture between these sides was Copa Sudamericana match day 3 on 30/04/2026 and the score finished Palestino 0-0 Grêmio.

In that game, Palestino managed 42% possession and 10 shots at goal with 3 on target.

Grêmio got 10 shots at goal with 2 on target.

ℹ️ Team News: Grêmio

Juan Nardoni (Hamstring injury), Roger (Hamstring injury), Mathías Villasanti (Knee injury), Marlon (Broken ankle), Arthur Melo (Hamstring injury), João Pedro (Muscle injury) and Fabián Balbuena (Hamstring injury) won’t be available for Grêmio manager Luís Castro.

It seems likely that Tricolor dos Pampas could kick off with a 4-2-3-1 system for the game, beginning the first half with Weverton, Jose Enamorado, Luis Eduardo, Viery, Pedro Gabriel, Leonel Perez, Erick Noriega, Cristian Pavon, Gabriel Mec, Francis Amuzu and Martin Braithwaite.

📋 Team News: Palestino

Thanks to a mainly available squad, there’s only a single fitness worry for the Palestino manager Lucas Bovaglio to be concerned with. Ariel Martínez (Cruciate ligament tear) misses out for this game.

We’re of the thinking that El Tino-Tino will likely utilise a 4-2-3-1 lineup, giving starts to Sebastian Perez, Ian Alegria, Vicente Espinoza, Enzo Roco, Jason Leon, Sebastian Gallegos, Julian Fernandez, Bryan Carrasco, Francisco Montes, Dilan Salgado and Ronnie Fernandez.

💡 Prediction

Our feeling is that Grêmio have it within them to stay in control for long periods of time and should be able to convert a few of the chances that they create.

At the same time, Palestino won’t find it easy to make a breakthrough but we do fancy them converting at least once here.

We’re tipping a pretty comfortable 3-1 winning margin for Grêmio at full-time.
