Vasco da Gama has been struggling lately, failing to win any of their last five matches. They have lost three of those and drawn two, and their recent games have seen quite a few goals. Gremio is also not in great form, having gone without a win in their last five, drawing four and losing one.

Looking at recent meetings between these two, Gremio has had the clear upper hand, winning most of the recent matches, often by a single goal. Given both teams' current struggles but Gremio's strong history in this matchup, this game looks likely to be a close contest.
