This is it, we are in the last matchday of the Brasileirão, and the teams at the top are fighting to catch up to Palmeiras.
We are, however, focusing on a team that is trying to keep themselves a solid spot in the Libertadores group stage, as Grêmio will be unable to tie for first place, even if the leader gets a loss. Notwithstanding, they just managed to steal the 4th spot by leaping over Botafogo by one point.
They are going to face Fluminense, a dangerous local who wants to finish the season positively, although they are not fighting for anything important. It’s important to remember that they are Copa Libertadores’ champions, so they are qualified, whatever the case.
Not having pressure on their shoulders does not guarantee that they’ll just let the visitors get past them to secure their spot. So, expect this match to be exciting as we see one team go all in and another just trying to make it a long night for the other.
We are getting ready to enjoy one of the last few matches that the Série A season brings our way.

Why Bet on Fluminense?
Fluminense will avoid repeating what they did in their last game after losing against Palmeiras, 1-0. They are good locals but, as said before, they are the Libertadores’ current champions, so their qualification to the top South American competition is assured. Their mind should be in the next Club World Cup, the last one with the current format, so their objective is to, at least, reach the final. If that’s the case they will, more than likely, face Manchester City.
Their most recent scores illustrate the point that things are on track for Fluminense’s defense. They have kept their defenses tight, allowing just three goals in their last six games.
Why Bet on Grêmio?
Grêmio comes into this match after a 1-0 victory in Serie A, eclipsing Vasco da Gama in their previous game.
In that match, ‘ Gaucho’ achieved 47% possession and 13 scoring chances with 5 shots on goal. The only player who could score for them was Luis Suárez (46′).
Renato Portaluppi’s Grêmio have managed to score a total of 8 times throughout their six most recent matches. The aggregate of goals they have conceded during that period adds up to a total of 8. Overall, they have been an offensive machine to be feared, but their main problem is the defense, something they’ll have to correct to fight for the title next year.
Betting Analysis: Fluminense vs. Grêmio
Before this match, Grêmio had not lost against Fluminense when they faced them as a visitor in the previous two Brasileirão matches.
Only the ‘Gaucho’ has something relevant to fight for, but they face a Maracanã that has been a fortress. In this sense, we believe a 2-2 draw is the likeliest outcome.
If you place $100 on a draw, you could get $255 for a total payout of $355.
