It was a tough week for the Immortal, with two negative results. In the league, Grêmio lost 2-1 to São Paulo at the Morumbi after reaching half-time in the lead. In a counter-attack, Aravena scored in the 37th minute on Grêmio's first shot on goal. However, the Paulistas came out determined in the second half and equalized through Arboleda's header from a free kick into the box. The visitors didn't attack much, but they did get into the opponent's area twice with great danger. Goalkeeper Rafael saved São Paulo with two excellent saves and proved crucial to his team's victory. In the 85th minute, the referee awarded São Paulo a penalty, and André Silva made it 2-1. The defeat was harsh, and it hurt Mano Menezes' men. In midweek, Grêmio drew 0-0 at home to CSA and was knocked out of the Copa do Brasil. The Série C team had won 3-2 in the first leg. This terrible result put Mano Menezes under pressure, although Luiz Felipe Scolari, Grêmio's technical coordinator, defended the coach. The Tricolor Gaúcho hasn't won in five games in all competitions.
Grêmio: Lineup
Grêmio has several injured players, but the good news is that Gustavo Martins has returned to training following a knee injury. However, the defender is still unlikely to be fit to play 90 minutes.

Volpi – João Pedro, Kannemann, Wagner Leonardo, Marlon – Dodi, Villasanti – Olivera, Cristaldo, Amuzu – Braithwaite

Bahia: Form and statistics
Bahia won two games last week, so the team is much more confident than Grêmio. In the Ba-Vi, the Baiano derby, Bahia beat Vitória 2-1 at home. The victory was extremely morale-boosting because Rogerio Ceni's side played the whole game with ten players after Jean Lucas' red card in the 5th minute. The Bahia fans were a great support to their team, which was superior to its rival, even with one player less. Erick Pulga opened the scoring in the 23', but Renato Kayzer equalized in the 54', silencing the Arena Fonte Nova. However, in a hard-fought and determined move, the Tricolor made it 2-1 in the 66th minute through Michel Araújo, who put the home side back in front. Vitória was also down to ten players in the 71st minute, and from then on, Bahia controlled the game. It was the fourth win in five league games for Bahia, now in sixth place with 15 points. In midweek, the Steel Squadron beat Paysandu 4-0 to secure a place in the next round of the Copa do Brasil.
Bahia: Lineup
In the middle of next week, Bahia will play a crucial game against Internacional in the Copa Libertadores, also in Porto Alegre. The lineup presented below is expected, but Rogério Ceni may eventually decide to rest some players, given the decisive match with Inter. Jean Lucas is suspended after his red card against Vitória.
🔖Bahia starting lineup (4-3-3)
Marcos Felipe – Gilberto, David Duarte, Ramos Mingo, Luciano Juba – Caio Alexandre, Nestor, Éverton Ribeiro – Cauly, Luciano Rodríguez, Erick Pulga
⛔️Out: Erick, Ademir, Kanu, Rezende, Arias (injured), Jean Lucas (suspended)
👤Head Coach: Rogério Ceni

Grêmio vs Bahia match prediction 25 May 2025
Grêmio is going through a difficult time and is currently in the relegation zone. The Porto Alegre side has only won once in its last twelve games. On the other hand, Bahia has won its last few games and is confident. However, the Baianos will decide their qualification for the next stage of the Copa Libertadores a few days later, which could influence the performance of the players at the Arena, who may want to preserve some energy for the game with Internacional. This factor leads me to lean towards the Gaúchos, who urgently need to win. I'm betting on a Double Chance in favor of Grêmio with a maximum of three goals scored.
