Grêmio 1/2 to beat Vitória in Tuesday’s Copa do Brasil second-leg showdown
Competition: Copa do Brasil
Market: Grêmio win
Odds: 1/2 @ 888sport
Simply looking to finish off the job late on Tuesday night, Gremio will host Vitoria with one foot already firmly in the semi-final of this year’s Copa do Brasil.
Starting with the hosts, slumping back to losing ways last time out, Gremio will be desperate to find a much-welcomed Copa do Brasil victory in midweek. In their opening 12 Serie A matchups so far this season, they have recorded just a single win, four draws and seven defeats, scoring six and conceding 14 in return. Managing to muster just a points tally of seven, they currently find themselves sat way down in 19th and already five points adrift of top-flight safety. As for their recent run of results, last seen getting hit with a 1-0 defeat against RB Bragantino on the road, that was Gremio’s second loss in their last six matchups across all formats. However, picking up a thumping 3-0 win when they faced off against Tuesday’s guests in the first-leg, it should be noted that top-flight outfit are unbeaten in their last six straight meetings against Vitoria.
As for the visitors, while Gremio might find themselves in the midst of a top-flight relegation scrap, Vitoria are in the midst of an almost identical battle. In their 15 Serie B matchups so far this season, they have recorded just a pair of wins, seven draws and six defeats, scoring 11 and conceding 14 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 13, they find themselves sat 15th in the second-tier standings and with just their goal difference keeping them outside of the drop zone. As for their recent run of results, last seen playing out a 0-0 stalemate against Avaí on home soil, Vitoria have managed to win just one of their last 11 matchups across all formats, a run that stems back to June 19th. Hit with that 3-0 defeat when they faced off against Gremio in the first-leg, we’re backing a similar home victory here.
