Gremio vs Internacional Prediction
Gremio are languishing at the bottom of the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A table, and have lost three of their last five league games. Experienced manager Luiz Felipe Scolari, formerly of the Portugal national team, Chelsea and the Brazil national team, has a tough job in his hands.
Internacional, on the other hand, 14th in the table. They have won only one of their last five league games, and with little separating them from the teams below, Internacional will have to find form quickly.
A draw seems to be on the cards.
Prediction: Gremio 1-1 Internacional
