Brasileiro Serie A - Gremio RS v Palmeiras SP
Gremio stand on 1st place at the moment, 1 point above Flamengo. Their record at home is 5-2-0 with an 11-3 GD. Their form is excellent, as they are combing off a 7-1 away win at Figuerense, which will certainly boost their confidence for today also. At home they haven't won by big margins so far, except the match against Ateltico Pr. Still, they are dangerous and balanced, and might as well continue their excellent form tonight.
Palmeiras are doing rather good at the moment, standing on 5th place, 4 points behind Gremio. But this is thanks to their excellent home performances, as in only one match at home they failed to win (1-1 with Figuerense). Away on the other hand, they have been mediocre, with a 1-2-4 record and a 7-11 GD. They only got points from Portuguesa, Vasco or Mineiro, but tonight's opponent is much stronger.
Gremio will be missing Paulo Segio and Leo, but it is not that important, as in the last match vs. Figuerense the team handled it perfectly.
Palmeiras, on the other hand, have a lot of unavailabilities. Pierre, Gustavo, Evandro, Leo Lima and most importantly, their star Valvidia, will all by missing tonight's clash at Olimpico Stadium. All the signs lead to a HW here. I don't have AH -1 at my bookies, and i did not find it on the net yet. Bet 365 offer a nice 3.55 for the -1.5, but i don't know if it is worth it. So let's just settle for the simple home win, as 1.9 is good enough in this case to go high stakes. Good luck.
