Grêmio vs RB Bragantino Prediction: The victory in the Copa Libertadores has boosted the Gaúchos' confidence

After a month without playing a single match due to the floods that affected Porto Alegre and Rio Grande do Sul state, Grêmio beat The Strongest 4-0 in the Copa Libertadores. It was a crucial victory for the Gaúchos, who have been through difficult times. The Immortal played in Curitiba, at the Couto Pereira, where the club will play its next fixtures. It is unknown when the Arena do Grêmio will be operational, and it will probably be months before it is possible to play there.

Grêmio

Against The Strongest, doubts about the Gaúchos' possible lack of form quickly dissipated, such was the pressure exerted on the Bolivians when they had possession of the ball. With the comfortable win, the Tricolor climbed to third place in its group and depends on itself to qualify, as it has two games in hand. Gremio's month of June will be terrible, with nine games on the schedule. Now the Brasileirão follows, and with six points from four matches, the Immortal will be looking to beat Bragantino, which has nine points. Renato Portaluppi may make some changes to the team to manage the fatigue of some players after the Copa Libertadores game. Psychology-wise, the Gaúchos are ready to face Red Bull.

RB Bragantino

The Massa Bruta finished the Copa Sudamericana group stage in second place and qualified for the next stage of the competition. If Bragantino had finished first, it would have gone straight through to the last 16. Red Bull will, therefore, face one of the third-placed teams from the Copa Libertadores groups in the playoff. The Bragança Paulista side drew 1-1 at Coquimbo, with Helinho scoring from the penalty spot in the 98th minute. Pedro Caixinha's team is in eighth place in Série A, with just one defeat in six games, precisely in the last round in Salvador, against Bahia. RB Bragantino will have no easy task in the upcoming game, but neither will Grêmio.
