ℹ️ Team News: Grêmio

It looks as if Tricolor dos Pampas should line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation in the match, utilising Weverton, Joao Pedro, Fabian Balbuena, Wagner Leonardo, Marlon, Erick Noriega, Arthur, Miguel Monsalve, Tete, Cristian Pavon and Carlos Vinicius.

We believe Fogão appear most likely to play in a 3-4-3 system, giving starts to Neto, Mateo Ponte, Newton, Alexander Barboza, Vitinho, Danilo, Allan, Alex Telles, Santiago Rodriguez, Arthur Cabral and Alvaro Montoro.

💡 Prediction

In our view, Botafogo will have their work cut out to register a score against this Grêmio team who we reckon should get a goal themselves and run out victorious.

Our tip is therefore for a very even contest with a 1-0 win for Grêmio when the full-time whistle blows.

Looking forward to this.
