Corinthians - Gremio Prediction, Picks and Tips
With 12 points away from first place, after 18 days, it seems that Corinthians can not defend the title of Brasileirao achieved last year. The situation of the 'timao' was complicated by not reaching the same regularity that their direct rivals found, especially by ceding several points as local duel against clubs that are now in relegation zone (ties with Vitoria, Santos and At. Paranaense) .
What's more, they come from their visit to Chapecoense a week ago, a match that they allowed themselves to go back in the last 20 minutes despite having a man over the second half. Gremio, meanwhile, usually lowers the revolutions playing away from home but if you want to stay close to the first places you are bound to score. Having the best defense in Brazil could help him neutralize his opponent's light attack. For this match he would employ his best eleven because the previous date gave rest to several of his figures before the series of games played.
Both teams come from playing their second leg in the quarterfinals of the Copa Brasil. 4 of their last 5 direct duels had less than 2.5 goals (one win per side and 3 draws). Corinthians did not receive goals in their previous 4 league locations. He has 16 games without losing at home by the Brasileiraio. In 7 of the 8 Gremio league visits there were less than 2.5 goals.
