Let's go with the ace at Pinnacle 2.02
I trusted Gremio in the previous midweek and I was spoiled by a very nice system with the 0-0 that he brought against Corinthians for the cup rematch between them. That's where he stepped on her. Unable to break free from the anti-football that Corinthians went to play, they stayed at 0-0 and out of the cup in the penalty shootout.
It was immediately overcome by Gremio. On Saturday with almost a substitute eleven went to Cuiabá, made an excellent performance and prevailed 1-3 with the fans cheering in the stands, a sign that they immediately made peace with the players and Renato Gausso.
Gremio wins from the game against Cuiabá. Newcomer forward Brethwaite scored two goals and quality attacking midfielder Monsalve provided an assist, while the team in general showed... Ahabara from elimination in the cup. As if it didn't happen.
The second gain and very important is the extra rise in the standings. We have said many times that Gremio has a squad to claim an exit to the Copa Libertadores and when it calms down it will counterattack. The management has put its hand in its pocket to bring in important signings and at the moment it looks very good. Third gain, that it again rested the basics. Seven of them stayed in Curitiba and did not travel at all on Saturday.
On the other hand, we have a Fluminense that is experiencing strange situations. Expected was their reaction in the league with four 1-0 runs that did not get them out of the danger zone. They helped her fight to stay and if her players relaxed, hurt their heads.
Last midweek they were eliminated from the continuation of the cup (with starters) by Juventude (2-2) in the Maracana, while on Saturday they lost 2-0 to Vasco (again with starters) in the derby and still cries out for the refereeing of Daronco.
I think Fluminense's mind broke down slightly. Defensively they do not have the same momentum as Corinthians to make a 0-0 at Gremio. They concede goals for fun from static phases from the air and if they don't make a decision now to throw away the weight of the Copa Libertadores, I see them losing the league because they proved that they are not firmly on their feet. I judge that even marginally Gremio will take a lead in qualifying for the quarterfinals and I keep the ace.
