Grêmio Defensor Sporting betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The goal of the Grêmio team is to confirm the first position of their group, as it will have advantages in the following phases, so it should fall on top of the opponent from the initial minutes of play in this round. Defensor ended up getting in the way and there is no more chance of advancing in the phase, now they struggle to get third place in their group, but know that in this game should find many difficulties to achieve a good result. The locals have a much more qualified squad and playing at home usually do not give chances to their opponents, therefore our betting alternative will be in the win of the locals until the end of the first stage of the game.

Preview
Grêmio and Defensor Sporting face at Arena do Grêmio, in a match for this stage of the Copa Libertadores (Group Stage). Defensor Sporting registers significant differences between home and away results, so special attention is due to the home/away factor.

Analysis Grêmio

The home team is currently in the 1st position, with 11 points won, after 3 wins and 2 draws. In the penultimate round, they have won a home match against Cerro Porteño by (5‑0). In the last round, they have won an away match against Monagas by (1‑2). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses in away matches, with 19 goals scored and 12 conceded; against 9 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses at their stadium, with 34 goals scored and 10 conceded. They come to this match after a away draw against Paraná by (0‑0). Grêmio has won 7 and tied 3 of the last 10 home matches.

They haven’t lost any of the last 5 matches for this competition. Their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 4 of the last 5 matches for this competition.

The tricolor gaucho is the current champion of the Copa Libertadores and at least in the knock-out of the 2018 edition is already guaranteed, but still the leadership of the group is in play and it will go after it. Not to rely on parallel results will need to win and of course that when playing at home will not want to lose, so the team should have control of the game from the beginning. Grêmio is unbeaten and the two times it played at home for this competition ended up conquering a great victory, so if it maintains the same level of performance of the home games can make it happen again.

Confirmed Lineup: Marcelo Grohe, Léo Moura, Marcelo Oliveira, Bressan, Walter Kannemann, Cícero, Ramiro, Maicon, Maicosuel, Thonny Anderson, Luan.
Coach: V. Carmo Mancini.

Analysis Def. Sporting

The away team is currently in the 3rd position, with 4 points won, after 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses. In the penultimate round, they have lost an away match against Monagas by (1‑0). In the last round, they have lost a home match against Cerro Porteño by (0‑1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 15 goals scored and 21 conceded; against 9 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 24 goals scored and 16 conceded. In their last match, for the Primera División, they got a home win against Progreso by (1‑0). In the last 10 away matches Defensor Sporting has won 1, tied 2 and lost 7. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded at least one goal in each of the last 5 matches for this competition. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 7 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

There in the first round of the Copa Libertadores the coach of Defensor was aware and said that in his group one place was for Grêmio and the rest would have to be disputed by the other teams and he ended up hitting that. What he did not expect is that his team would end up eliminated and today only plays to fulfill schedule, having nothing else to lose in the competition. In this way, he will at least try to avoid defeat, because in this way he would say goodbye with dignity, but if his team can nullify the attack of the locals and knows how to take advantage of the counterattacks, chances are they will surprise.

Confirmed Lineup: Gastón Rodríguez, Mathías Suárez, Santiago Carrera, Nicolás Correa, Gonzalo Maulella, Ayrton Cougo, Martín Rabuñal, Carlos Benavidez, Matías Cabrera, Mathías Cardacio, Cecilio Waterman.
Coach: M. Varini Di Zioli.
