On the night between Tuesday and Wednesday, Deportivo Riestra will welcome Gremio in the 4th round of Group F of the Copa Sudamericana. With both teams having won four points in the first three rounds, this match could prove crucial to their advancement to the knockout phase. Both teams are coming to the match after goalless draws in their domestic leagues - the hosts with Lanus and the visitors with Athletico PR.
Let's break down the game and find the best possible bet for this Copa Sudamericana tie.
Deportivo Riestra vs Gremio H2H stats
These teams have played only one H2H game, around two months ago. That time, Gremio won 1:0 in Brazil despite receiving a red card in the 47th minute. The Brazilians scored a few minutes before the end of the game and sealed the win. Gremio totally controlled the match even after that red card and deservedly won the match.
Deportivo Riestra team overview
Deportivo Riestra had an atrocious Liga Profesional Apertura campaign, finishing the season as the worst team in Group A with a mere 11 points from 16 rounds. However, there are some signs of improvement in recent matches as they won two and drew one across competitions (two domestic league games and one Copa Sudamericana game). So, despite having an absolute disaster season, it seems they are getting better and have a reason for optimism before the Gremio game.
After a goalless draw with Lanus, coach Guillermo Duró spoke to the media. He said the team played well defensively and praised their organization. However, the coach repeatedly emphasized the need to improve on the offensive end to be competitive in the upcoming matches.

Gremio team overview
Gremio haven't been among the best teams in Brazil in recent years. This year, despite winning the Gaucho state league title, the popular Imortal Tricolor haven't been great in Serie A from the start, consistently floating around the middle of the league table. Currently, after 14 rounds, they sit in 12th place with 17 points. The main issue this season is their poor road performances, especially on the offense. So, this road game against Deportivo Riestra will definitely not be easy, despite dominating the first H2H game in Brazil against the Argentine team.
Two very important players, Arthur Melo and Francis Amuzu, are new names on the injury list, having missed their previous match against Athletico PR. Melo's potential absence could be significant, as he has been one of their best players in recent matches. Besides those two, Joao Pedro, Marlon, and Mathias Villasanti should also remain sidelined due to their injuries.

Prediction
Deportivo Riestra have been really bad throughout the season and have had massive problems scoring goals. In 20 games across competitions, they have scored eight goals - a mere 0.4 goals per game. Besides their atrocious offense, another plus for this bet is that they are doing really well defensively, especially at home, where they kept a clean sheet in 60% of the games (6 out of 10).
Gremio have been amazing defensively, keeping a clean sheet in the last four and in six of the past seven games across competitions. On the road, the Immortal Tricolor have done well defensively, but were nowhere as good offensively, failing to score in the past five matches!
Considering all the above, but especially both teams' defensive performances, we believe at least one of the teams will fail to score in this Copa Sudamericana tie.
5 Reasons why at least one of the teams should fail to score
- At least one team failed to score in seven of Deportivo Riestra's last eight games
- Deportivo Riestra kept a clean sheet in six out of ten home games this season
- Gremio kept a clean sheet in its last four games
- Gremio failed to score in its last five road matches
- The first H2H game ended 1:0 in Gremio's favor
