Team News

Gremio
Cruzeiro
  • Leonardo, Luan, Jean Pyerre, Thaciano and Marcelo Oliveira will miss out through injury here.
  • Matheus Henrique and Diego Tardelli will likely be restored to the starting XI after missing out last time out.
  • Luciano scored a brace against São Paulo and will be boosted on Thursday.
  • Dodô is still recovering from a knee injury and will join Dede and Rodriguinho on the sidelines.
  • Marquinhos Gabriel will miss out on Thursday due to an accumulation of bookings.
  • Thagio Neves was fined by the board due to misconduct and will miss the rest of the season.

Prediction

  • Grêmio guaranteed a spot in the Copa Libertadores group stage next season with a wonderful performance against São Paulo, beating them by 3-0. The 'Tricolor' will be full of confidence here.
  • Cruzeiro were defeated by Vasco last time out and are in danger of being relegated for the first time in their history on Thursday. Adilson Batista' men will have to win in order to avoid the drop.
  • However, the visitors face a tough challenge as Grêmio are in great form. An home win would be the likeliest scenario here.
