- Venue: Mineirão (Belo Horizonte)
Although Cruzeiro have a modest budget compared to the top Brazilian clubs, the club from Belo Horizonte currently shares the top position in Serie A with Flamengo. However, there are too many left until the end of the season, and it seems impossible for Cruzeiro to stay in the title run. Leonardo Jardim's team was impressive prior to the break as Cruzeiro were on a 12-game unbeaten run. During the break, Jardim's team had two friendly matches in which they won 1-0 against Banfield and lost 1-0 against Defensa y Justicia.
Gremio are playing according to expectations as they are a mid-table team. They had a bad first few months of the season, so Mano Menezes' team even spent a few rounds in the relegation zone. However, after a positive run in the previous weeks, Gremio are six points above the drop zone. Menezes' team were on a five-match unbeaten run prior to the break. In the previous weeks, Gremio had only one match, which they won 2-0 in the Recopa Gaucho against EC Sao Jose.
Cruzeiro vs Gremio pick: Under 2.5 goals
Cruzeiro scored only two goals in the last eight matches, including friendlies. On the other hand, Gremio conceded one goal in the previous six games. We shouldn't expect more than two goals in the upcoming clash between Cruzeiro and Gremio.
