Grêmio vs Corinthians Prediction: Grêmio will be looking for a sixth win in a row

When they lost three games in a row in rounds 26, 27, and 28, the Gaúchos were 14 points behind Botafogo, and surely nobody thought it possible to match the Cariocas at the top of the Brasileirão. The truth is that Grêmio won all five of its following matches, while Botafogo only managed one point. The last game was precisely the meeting between the two teams, which ended in a 4-3 victory for Luis Suárez's team, with a hat-trick from the Uruguayan. Facing Corinthians, the Imortal Tricolor will be looking for its sixth win in a row and perhaps first place in the table.

The game between Botafogo and Grêmio at the São Januário was one of the most spectacular matches in this year's Série A. Once again, the league leader allowed a comeback, just like the one against Palmeiras. After being 3-1 down, Luis Suárez led his teammates to victory by scoring three goals in 18 minutes, in a memorable night for the veteran player. Suárez's ability to decide matches when his teams are fighting for titles has once again come to the surface, and that's why Grêmio must be counted on as a serious contender for the league title. At the moment, Botafogo, Grêmio, and Palmeiras have the same 59 points, with the Cariocas having one game in hand.

The Timão couldn't manage more than a draw at home to Atlético Mineiro and remains in an uneasy position in the table. In 14th place with 41 points, the Paulistas depend on themselves to avoid relegation, although the four-point gap to the relegation zone isn't big enough for them to relax. A draw in Porto Alegre would be a good result for Corinthians, but Grêmio has the best home record of all the teams in the Brasileirão.

Playing at home, where it usually dominates its opponents, Grêmio has a greater chance of winning. The team is confident and will have strong support from its fans, who are beginning to believe that the title is possible. Corinthians is a well-organized team, but in theory, it is unlikely to be able to withstand the Gaúchos' attack. I'm betting on Luis Suárez to score in this match.
