Player to watch: Franco Cristaldo
Gremio and Juventude clashed in the final of the Gaucho regional tournament three months ago, and Franco Cristaldo helped his team hoist the title, with a goal and an assist in Gremio's 3-1 win. The former Boca Juniors and Rayo Vallecano player was on the scoresheet earlier this week, when Gremio held an in-form Palmeiras to a 2-2 draw. He will fancy his chances against Juventude.
