The Brasileirão is on its last stretch, as we have only nine more matchdays left. Things are close, as Botafogo has kept its lead at the front with a strong Palmeiras, who is the favorite, trying its best to catch up.
For now, we are going a little lower on the board, as we cannot miss the new edition of the Grenal derby hosted by the 6th placed Inter.
Grêmio is in the 11th spot, tied on points with the 12th, and needs to win regularly to finally forget about relegation.

Why bet on Inter?
Inter has been on a nice run, achieving three wins and two draws in their last five. However, they need to win games in a row to take a direct spot into the Libertadores Group Stage.
The main problem for the Colorado for most of 2024 is that they lost a lot of matches at the beginning of the tournament due to the emergency situation in the south of Brazil. As a result, it was hard to tell the real quality of the team as, at times, winning all their suspended matches would have them as leaders. Still, when this was the case, they usually got bad results.
Now things are retaking its course, and the team has nine matches without knowing defeat, having registered six victories, and managing to obtain a 2–2 draw in the last of their match against Corinthians. They scored the equalizing goal on the hour mark, in the 94th minute.
Why bet on Grêmio?
The Tricolor Gaucho has ten wins, four draws, and 12 losses. For the moment, they occupy Copa Sudamericana places, but the relegation spots are just four points away.
Taking into account that there are still enough points at stake to advance into the Copa Libertadores, getting a victory is extremely important for the team.
Without fear of being wrong, we have to point out that Grêmio’s season has been extremely worse than the previous one. The team was fighting at the bottom of the table for several dates, only managing to score important points in the second half of the campaign. The natural disaster, the loss of Luis Suarez, and the severe lack of trust in the defense (the main reason they didn’t seriously challenge for the title in 2023) had them at the bottom of the table.
However, the team’s offensive level managed to improve significantly, in part, thanks to the arrival of Danish scorer Martin Braithwaite, who already managed to score five goals and one assist in his ten appearances with the Brazilian team. Surprisingly, since day one, the defense improved a lot from last year when they were the worst defense of the Brasileirão outside the relegation places and the fourth worst overall. This time, their 37 goals against put them in the average for a team in the lower-middle part of the table.
Final Betting Analysis: Inter vs. Grêmio
These teams have played 77 games since 2004 and the numbers point to a balanced rivalry. Inter won 27 times, Grêmio 25, and there have been 25 draws.
The last five matches between them told the same history: three wins for Inter and two for Grêmio. Most victories were by the locals except the last one. However, that game was played in a neutral ground. Porto-Alegre fans are just as intense as the Cariocas and Paulistas, so they have a heavy weight on the pitch.
We must add that Grêmio is a terrible visitor, losing half their games in that condition this campaign, and winning just three times. We’ll go for a local victory by 1-0.
Go for a victory for Internacional at 1.82. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $82 for a total payout of $182.
