  • Internacional have won each of their last three meetings with Gremio.
  • 12 cards were brandished across the last two tussles between rivals Internacional and Gremio.

Correct score prediction: Internacional 2-1 Gremio

Having already beaten Gremio twice this year, Internacional are backed to topple their rivals in the Grenal Derby again this weekend. Inter notched at least twice in each of their last seven games and their superior firepower should earn them the spoils again here.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Internacional favoured by the bookies

  • HOME: 4/5 (1.80) – 55.6%
  • DRAW: 23/10 (3.30) – 30.3%
  • AWAY: 4/1 (5.00) – 20%

*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

Internacional have put together a nine-game unbeaten run in Serie A and having won the last two editions of the Grenal Derby, they are keenly priced at 4/5 to deliver the goods again on Saturday.

Gremio meanwhile, managed to win just one of their last four assignments in the league and with their form so patchy, it’s little surprise to see them listed as long as 4/1 to win this weekend. Discover more Brazilian tips on our free football predictions page.

Wesley’s confidence should be galvanised

Attacker Wesley has already scored seven goals in Serie A this season, and though his tally was built on fits and spurts, the 25-year-old is capable of producing match-changing moments and could be a influence presence in Saturday’s Grenal Derby.
