8163
This week sees the second leg of the third round ties in the Copa do Brasil. On the 10th of June we have a meeting between Brasiliense and Grêmio at the Estádio Maria de Lourdes Abadia.
The hosts begin the match with a 2-0 deficit from the first leg and have a lot of work to do in order to progress in the competition.
Brasiliense come into the game having been held to a 1-1 draw at home by Goianésia in the Brazilian Serie D. It was the opening league fixture of the season and despite having taken the lead in the first half of the match, Brasiliense could not hold on and conceded the equalising goal in the 75th minute.
That result means Brasiliense have failed to record a victory in either of their two most recent fixtures, the previous of which came in the Copa do Brasil.
It was the first leg of this tie at Grêmio and Brasiliense put up a decent fight against Serie A opposition but conceded a goal just before half time. A second goal was conceded only 4 minutes into the second half and the match ended in a 2-0 defeat.
Trends show Brasiliense have failed to win any of their last 4 home fixtures in the Copa do Brasil. They have not been easy to breakdown in those 4 games, conceding only 2 goals and keeping two clean sheets.
Grêmio did not have a fixture on the weekend which means their most recent game was the first leg of this tie at home against Brasiliense.
The 2-0 lead established in that match means they come into this fixture with a cushion and even a one goal defeat would be good enough to send them through to the fourth round of the competition.
However, Grêmio will want to win the match having picked up only a single victory from their last 4 games in all competitions.
Prior to the cup win over Brasiliense, Grêmio were defeated 3-2 in Serie A by Ceará away from home. They were also held to a 0-0 draw at La Equidad in the Copa Sudamericana and 1-1 at home by Internacional in Gaucho 1.
Trends show Grêmio have won 2 of their last 5 away games in the Copa do Brasil. They have managed to keep two clean sheets in their last 4 away cup matches.
Team news and Brasiliense are likely to go with a similar starting XI from the first leg. Balotelli, Milton Júnior, and Romario will be hoping to come into the team.
Grêmio have had a week to prepare for this game. However, they are missing many players, including Gabriel Chapecó, Rafinha, Aldemir Ferreira, Diego Souza, and Luiz Fernando due to COVID-19.
This has the makings of a difficult match for Grêmio and Brasiliense will be hoping to make home advantage count.
The hosts have been difficult to break down when playing at home in recent Copa do Brasil games but Grêmio could claim a narrow 1-0 victory.
