In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Vasco da Gama, by (2-1). In the last match, they tied in an away match against São Paulo, by (1-1).

The team has conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, so it has not presented great defensive solidity, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 34 matches in this competition, he only managed 3 comebacks in the 12 games in which he suffered the first goal. There is 1 period that stands out in the last 17 home matches for this competition: they have suffered 5 of their 14 goals between minutes (0’-15 ‘).
The Gremio is a club that throughout its history has two titles of the Serie A of the Brazilian Championship, plus five titles of the Copa del Brasil and three of the Copa Libertadores, conquered for the last time last year. In the current season, the team has been doing a good campaign in the national championship and that is why it is quite close to getting the classification for the next edition of the Copa Libertadores, being currently among the first classified. In the last five games that the Gremio played in their stadium, for several competitions, in all they were scored more than 1.5 goals. We believe that in this confrontation the Guild will make a more offensive game and with several goals, considering that it has an effective attack, but suffers goals regularly.

The team allowed goals to the opponent in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition, so it was not very strong defensively. In 34 matches in this competition, he only managed 3 comebacks in the 19 matches in which he suffered the first goal.
La Chapecoense is a club that has not yet won the Serie A of the Brazilian Championship, but that throughout its history has never been reduced to the second division, besides having a title of the Copa Sudamericana (2016) and a final of the South American Recopa. In the current season, the team has been doing a very irregular campaign in the national championship and that is why it continues to fight against the relegation, being currently the first team in the relegation zone, one point behind the 16th-ranked Ceará. In the last eight games that the Chapecoense played as a visitor, all for the national championship, in six of them they scored more than 1.5 goals. We believe that in this confrontation, the Chapecoense, which needs a victory, will make a very offensive game with several goals.
