Copa Libertadores action and Brazil take on Bolivia. The roles are reversed here somewhat though as Gremio are bottom of the table and The Strongest (as their names suggests) topping the pile.
Gremio are on 3 points after 3 games in the group, 1 win and 2 losses. Last two games have been postponed due to the terrible weather in the area. Indeed, they must play their “home” games at Estadio Couto Pereira in Curitiba (which is 700KM away) The Strongest have 10 points from 5 games with 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss.
Team news: Gremio miss Mathia Villasanti suspended, injuries abound with Martins, Milla, Robert and Pedro Geromel out. Visitors miss Wayar, Lino and Arrascaita.
Head-to-head statistics: 1 game – 1 wins The Strongest.
Betting selection – Lots of factors against Gremio here. Not playing at home, lots of players out and not being in great form generally. The Strongest should qualify but will try and keep it tight. Take The Strongest +1.5/2.0 at 1.975. We get paid on The Strongest winning or a draw. A 1 goal Gremio win pays out for us also. A 2 goal win gets us half stakes returned.
