Grêmio Analysis
The home team are in the second round after their league debut against Cruzeiro (0-1). This is a team affected by the home factor, stronger when you play in front of your fans, since in the last 30 matches you have 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 defeats as a visitor, with 20 goals scored and 18 conceded, against 8 wins, 5 draws and 2 home defeats, with 25 goals scored and 10 conceded. The team arrives at this meeting after a draw with Cerro Porteno by (0-0). Grêmio won 7, drew 1 and lost 2 of their last 10 home games for all competitions. Defensive solidity has been one of his strengths as he has conceded only 3 of the last 10 games and his attack has scored regularly as he has scored goals in 8 of the last 10 games. The team do not usually feel difficult to open the scoring: they managed to score the first goal in 12 of the last 15 matches, of which 12 reached the interval in the lead in 5 and managed to maintain the advantage until the end of the 90 ‘in 10.
Gremio is a club that has won the Brazilian Championship twice, the most recent title having been defeated in 1996. On the other hand, in the last three years it was champion of the Brazil Cup (2016), Copa Libertadores (2017) and vice- (2018), defeated by Real Madrid, in addition to having recently won the Recopa Sudamericana and Campeonato Gaúcho. In the Brasileirão this year, the team debuted with an important 0-0 away win against Cruzeiro, showing that it will again fight for the top positions and the national title, as in recent years. In the last five games played as principal, in four of them were scored at least one goal in the second half. Coming from an exhausting game in Paraguay for the Copa Libertadores, I believe that Grêmio will make this game against Atletico a little slow in the first half, so as not to wear out their players even more, but in the second stage will seek victory inside their stadium.
