Gremio come into this match on a really rough patch, having lost all five of their recent games, so confidence will be low. Vasco da Gama have also struggled, losing three of their last five, though they did manage one win and a draw in that stretch. Recent meetings between these two have been tight, with lots of narrow scorelines and a couple of goalless draws, so this one probably won't be a high-scoring affair.

Given how poor Gremio's form is, but also how Vasco have been inconsistent, this looks like a close, cagey game that could easily end level. Neither team is in good shape right now, and their recent head-to-heads suggest goals will be hard to come by. A draw seems like the most likely outcome.
