Gremio vs Internacional Predictions

• Both sides have kept just one clean sheet apiece this season.
• Both teams have scored in four of the last five meetings.

Close derby clash on the cards in Porto Allegre

Gremio and Internacional lock horns for the first ‘Grenal’ of the Serie A season at Arena do Gremio this Saturday and we expect both teams to have a say in Porto Allegre.

This is one of the biggest rivalries in Brazilian football and the stakes are extremely high this time around with both sides currently struggling.

Internacional were runners-up in 2020 but are languishing in 14^th after failing to win any of their last four (D2, L2), while Gremio come into this vital clash bottom of the pile after two draws and six defeats from their first eight outings.

A response should be forthcoming from Gremio though now that Luiz Felipe Scolari has taken over from the departing Tiago Nunes, and this derby encounter gives the hosts a perfect opportunity to show their new manager what they’re made of.

We’re keen to avoid the result here based on how poorly the teams have been playing and both teams to score looks a viable alternative wager. Both teams have kept just one clean sheet this season, and only one of the last five meetings has seen one or both sides fail to score.

There shouldn’t be much between the pair as has been the case in recent derbies and with neither handed the vote, we’re also tipping up a 1-1 correct score.
