Gremio (RS) VS Palmeiras

Graeme is currently sitting in the 16th position in the league table, with 7 wins, 7 draws, and 13 losses, amassing 28 points. They're hovering on the edge of the relegation zone, facing immense pressure to grab points. Although their home - field performance is decent, having secured 3 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses in their last 6 home matches in the Brazilian league, their overall league form has been lackluster. In the previous round, they lost 2 - 3 to Botafogo away from home. Adding to their woes, midfielder Dodi (knee injury), defender Marlon, and forward Amuzu are out, causing damage to their midfield and front - line. On the other hand, Palmeiras is in the second place, boasting 16 wins, 8 draws, and 3 losses, with 56 points. They're part of the title - chasing group and have strong away - game capabilities. In the previous round of the Copa Libertadores, they suffered a 2 - 3 defeat away. In their last 6 Brazilian league games, they've had 2 wins, 3 draws, and 1 loss, showing reasonable consistency. Their away record stands at 7 wins, 5 draws, and 2 losses, and they're very potent in front of goal on the road. However, Palmeiras has its own set of problems. Head coach Abel Ferreira is serving a suspension, as is defender Murilo. Forward Paulinho and defender Jeferson are also injured. The absence of a coach on the sideline is a major concern for the team.
