America MG vs Gremio Predictions

• The hosts are without a clean sheet in their last three and in any of their last five meetings with Gremio.
• The visitors have been losing at halftime in four of their previous five games.
• The last two meetings between these two have witnessed both teams scoring.

Mineiro impressive under new manager

The hosts have put in some respectable performances in their first season back in the Brazilian Serie A and managed to put three past Sport Recife on Wednesday night – albeit Sport Recife were down to ten men after 25 minutes. They deserve the plaudits they’re now receiving after a slow start to the season that saw them winless after their opening seven league games and goalless in their first three. Those results saw Lisca sacked in June and Marquinhos Santos brought in to replace him in October. Under his tutelage, Coelho have won three of their four outings.

Gremio ended a four-match losing run on Tuesday, as they defeated Fluminense 1-0 on home soil. They probably should’ve scored more considering they registered 25 shots on goal but ultimately found the breakthrough that was needed to claim three vital points. Their issue is consistency, they’ve only put two winning streaks together all season and both of those only ran over the course of two matches.

Given the hosts current form and the fact they’ve been playing with far more fluidity in recent weeks, we think the hosts can cause a whole lot of problems for Gremio, however, the visitors are always a threat. The hosts haven’t been keeping too many clean sheets lately so both teams to score is the play with a score draw a real possibility.
