Cruzeiro vs Gremio Prediction
Cruzeiro vs Gremio Prediction and Betting Tips for this crucial Brazilian Serie A fixture on Sunday, July 14. The match at Estadio Governador Magalhaes Pinto could see Cruzeiro push for top spot with their impressive home form. In this article, discover the latest Brazilian Serie A Predictions and expert stats for your matchday bets.
- Cruzeiro remain unbeaten at home this season with five wins in six matches.
- Gremio are missing key midfielders through suspension and injury.
- Leonardo Jardim’s side boast one of the league’s tightest defences.
- Martin Braithwaite has scored in each of Gremio’s last three league games.
Leonardo Jardim’s Cruzeiro have exceeded expectations so far this season, sitting second in the table with 24 points from 12 matches. Raposa have built their success on defensive solidity, conceding an average of just 0.5 goals per game while scoring an average of 1.67. Their last outing before the Club World Cup break ended in a frustrating 1-1 draw against Vitoria, but they remain unbeaten in their last seven league matches and have kept five clean sheets during that run. With Kaio Jorge chasing the top scorer’s crown, the hosts will feel confident of extending their fine form at home.
Another key factor in Cruzeiro’s strong campaign is their near-perfect record at Estadio Governador Magalhaes Pinto. Jardim’s men have won five of six home league games this season, scoring two or more goals in four of them. Their ability to control matches in front of their fans has made them one of the toughest sides to beat on home soil. However, they will need to manage without experienced midfielder Carlos Eduardo, who is suspended, while Joao Marcelo and Matheus Henrique remain sidelined through injury.
Gremio, meanwhile, have shown signs of improvement under Mano Menezes, who has guided the team to just one defeat in his first seven league games in charge. Their 1-1 draw against Corinthians before the break extended their unbeaten run to three matches. Martin Braithwaite has found his scoring boots at the right time, netting in each of his last three league appearances. Despite this, Gremio’s away record remains a concern, with the team winning just one of their last eight matches on the road.
The visitors will also have to contend with several absences in midfield. Dodi is suspended due to yellow card accumulation, while Joao Pedro, Rodrigo Ely and Gustavo Cuellar remain out injured. These gaps could prove costly against a Cruzeiro side that is strong in the middle of the park and disciplined defensively. For punters looking for solid value, these factors could play a crucial role in shaping your next Brazilian Serie A Predictions bet.
Backing Cruzeiro to win looks smart when you consider their outstanding home form. They are unbeaten in six home games this season, winning five and drawing one, and they boast an average of 1.67 goals scored per match while conceding just 0.5. They’ve kept five clean sheets in their last seven league outings, showing real defensive discipline under Leonardo Jardim. Kaio Jorge’s sharpness up front (eight league goals) gives them a genuine threat, especially against a Gremio side missing key players like Dodi and Cuellar. Gremio’s away form remains patchy; they have failed to win seven of their last eight on the road and concede an average of 1.8 goals per game. Despite Martin Braithwaite’s scoring touch, Gremio’s defensive leaks could cost them at a venue where Cruzeiro are so comfortable. All signs point to the hosts extending their unbeaten run at Estadio Governador Magalhaes Pinto.
