Gremio

In the home match, Gremio beat Fluminense 2:1 in the first match of the 1/8 finals of the Copa Libertadores, this advantage has yet to be defended in Rio de Janeiro.

2.85Tip and bets
Fluminense lost the first match and today will have to open up and play more aggressively up front. The Tricolors are not known for their high scoring, but they score regularly at home and it is unlikely that Gremio has a chance to play to zero. At the same time, the Musketeers have improved in the last few months, including in scoring, and an exchange of goals is almost inevitable.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. Betting Tip - both will score . This outcome is offered with a coefficient of 2.17
Bet on the outcome
Fluminense, after a brief upswing, have once again slowed down and have looked unimpressive in recent matches. In recent years, the Tricolors have had a particularly tough time against Gremio, a series of eight defeats in a row against the Musketeers clearly testifies to this. It is unlikely that the visitors will be able to aim for victory, but they are quite capable of holding on to the necessary draw.
