Flamengo is a big favorite, but Grêmio is coming off the back of two straight league wins and a 2-0 triumph against Atlético Mineiro in the Cup. Flamengo is in great shape and has seven consecutive home wins, but that does not mean that they will easily break the resistance of the visitors. Mutual duels show that Grêmio can be an unpleasant opponent, and the first meeting of the season ended with a minimal victory of Flamengo 1:0.
