Gremio vs Sao Paulo
📖 The Preview
Gremio are down in 17th with just a point keeping them out of the drop zone, so this is virtually a must-win at home. That desperation counts for a lot. Sao Paulo are drifting in mid-table with nothing much to play for, and they're missing Lucas Moura, Toloi, Bobadilla and Diaz, which is a significant chunk of their squad. Sao Paulo have the fresher legs after a longer rest, and the head-to-head is perfectly split, so this isn't a walkover — but Gremio's backs-against-the-wall mentality should edge them a narrow 1-0.
