Grêmio vs Internacional: Prediction and odds on the Brasileirão match on April 20, 2025
Grêmio and Internacional will meet again for one of Brazil's biggest clashes. The derby between the Porto Alegre clubs, known as the Grenal, is extra important for the two rivals as they both lost in the last round.

The Immortal suffered a humiliating 4-1 defeat against newly promoted Mirassol, which caused the departure of coach Gustavo Quinteros. The Brasileirão is probably the cruelest league in the world for managers, and in just four rounds, four clubs have already changed managers. Several names are circulating in the media to replace Quinteros. Provisionally, James Freitas will be in charge of Grêmio in the derby. The team started the league with a home win but then lost three consecutive games, two of them against clubs that came from the Série B. The Tricolor is in 17th place with three points, three goals scored, and nine conceded. The defense has been very permeable, and rival Internacional has dangerous players up front, so Freitas will certainly try to correct some aspects. The problem isn't exclusive to the back line because the midfield isn't effectively covering the spaces near the defensive zone.
Grêmio: Lineup
Olivera has recovered from dental problems and is fit to play. James Freitas will lead the team until the new coach arrives, so it's hard to say whether he'll make any changes. With so little time to train, the most likely thing is to keep the same basic structure that Quinteros built.
🔖Grêmio starting lineup (4-2-3-1)
Volpi – João Pedro, Jemerson, Wagner Leonardo e Marlon – Cuéllar, Villasanti – Olivera, Cristaldo, Amuzu – Braithwaite
⛔️Out: Rodrigo Ely (injured)

Internacional: Form and statistics
In the last round, the Colorado suffered its first loss of the year. Only four rounds have been played in the Série A, but the season in Brazil started in January with the Campeonatos Estaduais. Inter was undefeated for 17 games in all competitions, namely the Campeonato Gaúcho, the Copa Libertadores, and the Brazilian league, but finally lost 1-0 at home to Palmeiras. The game was very tight, between two of the best sides in the league, and was decided in the smallest of details, as Roger Machado, Inter's coach, said. Any team that suffers a defeat wants to bounce back in the following match, but as in this case, the opponent is rival Grêmio, a good result is imperative. Another defeat could affect the confidence of a team that has played remarkably well, not just this season but also since Roger Machado arrived in July 2024. The Red & Whites are currently in 10th place with four points and a goal average of 2-2.
Internacional: Lineup
Juninho and Victor Gabriel have recovered and are again possible options for Roger Machado. However, Wesley, who missed the game against Palmeiras with a last-minute injury, will have to do a test before the derby to see if he can play. Borré could return to the starting line-up in place of Valencia.
🔖Internacional starting lineup (4-2-3-1)
Anthoni – Aguirre, Rogel, Vitão, Bernabei – Bruno Henrique, Fernando – Vitinho, Alan Patrick, Wesley – Borré
⛔️Out: Rochet, Bruno Gomes, Mercado, Juninho, Victor Gabriel, Carbonero (injured)
👤Head Coach: Roger Machado

Anything can happen in a derby with such a huge rivalry. Inter is unbeaten against Grêmio for seven consecutive matches and is a more stable side, so in theory, it has a better chance of winning.
