The Brasileirão has an incredible battle for the first place and, as accustomed in the last years, there is Palmeiras. Now, the next stop is against a Grêmio in crisis.
The Tricolor Gaucho has had a terrible start to the season but got a breath against an even worse team, Fluminense.
The Verdão won against Corinthians minutes ago, confirming itself as the biggest competitor with Flamengo for the top.

Why Bet on Grêmio?
From being one of the best teams of last season, Grêmio felt greatly the departure of Luis Suarez as the anchor of the team’s attack, and the arrivals have not been up to expectations. They have three wins, one draw, and seven losses, being deeply immersed in the relegation battle alongside another of these season’s disappointments, Fluminense.
Precisely, they come from beating the Flu 1-0 with a solitary goal by Nunes. However, defeating a team equally as bad or even worse doesn’t say a lot for a team in dire need of improvement.
They have only eight goals in favor, being the worst attack of the Brasileirão. Their reasonably good defense keeps them from an even bigger catastrophe, as their 12 goals against make them the best in this category in the last ten.
Why Bet on Palmeiras?
Palmeiras keeps being one of the most fearsome teams in Brazil, if not the most. They have been great lately, although a recent loss against Fortaleza ended their remarkable streak in June. However, remember that the Brasileirão is being played every three days as the Federation is trying to recover time after the issues that occurred some weeks ago. In these circumstances, being consistent, something already hard in the Série A becomes almost impossible.
No matter the case, the Verdão is dangerous even with their reserve players, as they tend to be one of the most productive teams in the country, young talent-wise. They have eight wins, two draws, and three losses, trailing Flamengo by a single point.
Their 18 goals in favor are not something to cheer about, but their backline is as reliable as ever with only nine goals against, the second-best of the league, only behind Inter (8).
Final Betting Analysis: Grêmio vs. Palmeiras
In the last 44 matches, there has been more success for the Paulistas, who boast 19 wins, contrary to the 11 of the team from Rio Grande do Sul. There have been 14 draws.
The last five games tell a similar history, with four wins for Palmeiras and a solitary one for Grêmio. However, that lonely triumph came in their previous game. It was on September 22 last year for the Brasileirão, in the Tricolor Gaucho’s home.
History is pretty clear about which team dominates in this rivalry, so we’ll go for a win for the visitors by 0-1.
Go for a victory for Palmeiras at 2.096. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $109.6 for a total payout of $209.6.
