Taking a close look at the teams, we've got Grêmio, standing tall with their goalie, Tiago Volpi, who's managed to rack up an impressive 14 saves, a number which makes Internacional's goalkeeper, Anthoni look, to put it frankly, a bit meek in comparison with only 7 under his belt.
Now, let's weigh the frontrunners here. For Internacional, we've got crowd favorites Alexandro Bernabei and Alan Patrick both showcasing their mettle with respectable ratings of 7.77 and 7.57 respectively, boosted further by Alan's impressive goal and laser accurate passes - 93.8% accurate, isn't that some statistic!
Flipping the coin, we find Grêmio's top dogs Martin Braithwaite and Matías Arezo. Braithwaite's got a solid 7.45 rating further reinforced by his goal, while Arezo, despite his more modest rating of 7.03, has shown some serious ambition with 4 shots on goal.
Past match-ups indicate a dominance by Internacional, edging out Grêmio in 3 out of their last 5 meetings - always exciting when there's a grudge match on the cards! Grêmio though, isn't in the best of forms this season, with a win-draw-loss record of abyssmal 1-0-3. Internacional, can't exactly write home about their 1-2-1 but it's certainly not as grim.
Folks, rustle up your popcorn, this is going to be a scorcher! And as much as I adore seeing the underdogs winning, the winds are quite clearly blowing in Internacional's favor.
