*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.

Player to watch – Wesley
Wesley ended a nine-game wait without a goal in Internacional’s last home assignment when he notched twice in his team’s 3-1 win over Vitoria.

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.
