Vasco da Gama vs Grêmio Prediction: Grêmio seeks to return to winning ways

Grêmio de Porto Alegre lost second place in the Brasileirão after a draw in Goiânia in the last round. Flamengo and Palmeiras overtook the Gaúchos but Grêmio has a game in hand with Corinthians. Renato Portallupi's team, however, will take the pitch against Vasco da Gama to win and regain the lost place as soon as possible. The Cariocas, until now, have not shown to be at the desired level of a strong league like this and occupy, without surprise, the last place.

The Cruzmaltino continues its tough journey in the Brasileirão as it approaches the halfway mark. In the last round, Vasco lost for the fourth time in a row against Corinthians in São Paulo. The Vascaínos shot 23 times but could only score from the penalty spot. There is a lack of quality players in the offensive sector of the Cariocas. In this game with Grêmio, the prospects are not good once again. The Gaúchos were promoted from the Série B just like Vasco da Gama, but the difference in the performance of the two teams is brutal.

The Immortal has not won for two games after the defeat in the Copa do Brasil with Flamengo and the miraculous draw with Goiás in the last round. Grêmio is expected to be more dominant and less cautious when facing the last-placed team. Fluminense and Palmeiras will meet in this round. Since Grêmio's current position is between those two teams in the standings, it can benefit in case of victory. The Gaúchos have dropped a bit in recent performances. Even in the last win against Atlético Mineiro, the result was better than the display. Vasco da Gama seems to be the ideal team for Grêmio to return to the victories, but the team needs to demonstrate it on the pitch.

Grêmio plays away but is the favorite for this match. Vasco da Gama is last in the table and the team with the worst home record in the league. The Hill's Giant attack is also the least effective in the competition. Last year in Série B, the two teams drew 0-0.
