Cruzeiro vs Gremio Betting Tips

Cruzeiro suffered a very poor spell of form in the middle of the Serie A season, and as such they have seen their position in the table deteriorate.

They won just one match in a run of eight games, losing four times and slipping well down the table. But since then they have lost only one in seven, winning four times and drawing twice.

This puts them in 13^th position in the Brazilian Serie A, and a win on Sunday could send them as high as 11^th.

Gremio, despite sitting as high as 3^rd position in the league, aren’t in the best of form coming into this game. A win could see them overtake Atletico MG in 2^nd place.

But they have only won two of their last five Serie A games, with two defeats and a draw making up the rest of the results.

This return of seven points from a possible 15 isn’t good enough for a team hoping to challenge for the title.

Their 2-1 loss against Sao Paulo back in the middle of September brought an end to their eight match unbeaten streak and it seems to have knocked their confidence a bit.

Gremio lost their last away match in Serie A 3-2 against Palmeiras, but that is their only defeat on the road in their last seven outings.

But Cruzeiro are pretty good on home turf. They have only lost once in their last ten Serie A home games, winning five of them.

The history between these two sides is very even. Both sides have won three of the last six meetings between the sides, with Cruzeiro winning the last two home matches they have played against Gremio.

Cruzeiro come into this game in the better form of the two sides, and coupled with the home advantage I think they have what it takes to win on Sunday. Odds of 19/20 for this outcome look good too, and a 2-1 win at 8/1 looks good too.
