Santos and Gremio to Draw at Half Time
With both teams struggling at the moment and fighting against relegation, this should be a very close and exciting game. With that in mind, we expect the match to be decided in the second half, so our prediction is for Santos and Gremio to draw at half time. After all, Santos drew at half time in 14 of their 23 games, while the same thing happened in 10 of 22 Gremio matches in Serie A this season.
Over 2.5 Total Goals
Four of the last five meetings between Santos and Gremio have gone over 2.5 total goals, so we won’t be surprised when the same happens on Sunday. In fact, three of those four matches have also gone over 3.5 goals, so it’s obvious that these two teams like to play high-scoring matches whenever they meet. Also, Santos averaged 2.17 goals per game this season, while Gremio averaged 2.09 goals per game.
Both Teams to Score – Yes
Both teams have scored in all of the previous five head-to-head duels between Santos and Gremio, so we expect to see the same in their upcoming duel – despite the fact that both teams scored in just 39% of all Santos matches this season and only 26% of Gremio fixtures in Serie A so far.

Santos vs Gremio preview: A very important duel
While nobody probably expected these two teams to fight against relegation, here we are. With that in mind, let’s check both teams out in more detail now:
Santos
The team that reached the final of Copa Libertadores last season is currently in serious danger of getting relegated to Serie B. At the moment, Santos is just one point ahead of the first team in the relegation zone and they will have a stressful remainder of the season for sure. Santos is without a win in the league in the last eight games and they have a lot of injury problems right now – too many injured players to list here.
Gremio
This has been a pretty bad season for Gremio and every time when it seems that they are starting to get it together, they make another step backwards. The same thing happened once again – after winning four of the previous five matches, Gremio then lost two in a row, including the loss at home to Sport Recife, another relegation candidate. Gremio still has a lot of time to climb out of the relegation zone, but the fans have every reason in the world to be concerned right now. Geromel and Gomes will miss the next game with injuries.
