My Prediction
Grêmio by 1Looking at this Brasiliero Série A matchup between Grêmio and Juventude, a few things jump out. Let's dive right in.
Between the posts, both teams have got goalkeepers who can surely catch. For Juventude, there's Gabriel Vasconcelos sporting a 6.83 rating with 9 saves under his belt. Then there's Mateus Claus, standing firm with a rating of 5.80. On the Grêmio side, we have Agustín Marchesín who’s got cat-like reflexes and an impressive rating of 8.00, not to mention his incredible 28 saves. Is it the gloves? Is it the hair gel? This guy really likes denying scoring parties.
Now, it's not all about the goalkeepers - the field players know how to get it done as well. For Juventude, we're looking at Lucas Barbosa with his noteworthy accurate pass % of 67.4 and Ronaldo, a true professional out there on the pitch with a 7.07 rating and a robust accurate passing of 87.4%. Meanwhile, at Grêmio, Rodrigo Ely seems to be leading by example, boasting a 7.27 rating and an exceptional 80.6 accurate pass %. Also, let us not forget Reinaldo, with his 1 goal and a commendable 80.2 accurate pass %.
Looking at their past matchups, we observe that Juventude bested Grêmio twice. Now, you can't live in the past, but in the wonderful world of sports, yesterday's hero is today's sure bet. It appears Juventude likes to ruffle Grêmio's feathers.
That said, the recent wins, losses, and draws for both teams tell a slightly different tale. With their 11-6-16 record, Grêmio has been a bit more victorious than Juventude, who sport a 9-10-14 sheet. This might just be the nudge in Grêmio's favor.
Given all of the considerations, I wouldn't bet my mother-in-law's poodle on this outcome, but if I were to prognosticate, this looks like it might edge slightly in Grêmio's favor.
