Gremio vs Botafogo RJ Prediction & Betting Tips (16 June)

This Gremio team had the bad idea of ​​losing during the week at Flamengo 2-1, a 3rd successive defeat in the elite after Bahia 1-0 and without reaction at home against Red Bull Bragantino 0-2. It is clearly a difficult time for the residents of Porto Alegre who still occupy 13th place or not even qualified for any continental competition. Opposite, Botafogo has a string of good results whether in the league or in the Copa Libertadores, including a series of 7 matches without the slightest TCC defeat.

During the week, John Textor's club escaped the pressure of Fluminense 1-0 following their success with the smallest score against Corinthians 0-1. Let's not forget to point out that with their 10 points in the group stage of the Libertadores, the Alvinegros obtained 2nd place and will therefore be at the meeting in the 1/8 finals of the competition.

Suspended during the week, the young 18-year-old midfielder Gustavo Nunes (5 appearances this season in the league) will be eligible again for his coach this evening. On the other hand, Andre Henrique (OUT since March), Diego Costa (ex-Chelsea) or even Lucas Mila (absent from the match sheets for a long time) and Jhonata Robert (same scenario) will a priori be forfeited for this poster. Finally, midfielders Villasanti and Soteldo have both joined their respective teams. On the Botafogo side, note the absences of Savarino (2 goals in the league this season) and Montes (1 goal in 1 short match played) who both left with their selection.

In addition, let us note the injuries to former Ligue 1 players such as Carlos Eduardo (ex-Nice), Marcal (ex-Guingamp/Lyon), Rafael (ex-Lyon) and Pablo (ex-Bordeaux). The faithful Matheus Nascimento (4th professional season at Botafogo) is also injured and probably absent. Suspended during the week, Barbosa (ex-Nice, 3 goals) will again be eligible for his coach while Junior Santos (2 pawns) is also applying for a place in the major 11.
