Cruzeiro vs Grêmio Prediction: Bet on Grêmio to win and Suárez to score

Cruzeiro will receive Grêmio at Independência Stadium in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, in the upcoming Brazil Serie A League.

Grêmio arrives at this match at a better moment than Cruzeiro, and although they play on the away side, it’s expected Grêmio to win.

CRUZEIRO

The Portuguese Pepa had substituted the Uruguayan Paulo Pezzolano. It’s clear that Cruzeiro has a lot to change yet and it’s not at its best.
