Grêmio vs Santos prediction: Both teams need points

Grêmio vs Santos: Prediction and odds on the Brasileirão match on May 04, 2025

Grêmio and Santos will meet in Porto Alegre as the two teams are in the relegation zone. Both clubs face difficult times and have already changed coaches. Grêmio and Santos urgently need points.

Grêmio: Form and statistics

Mano Menezes was hired to replace Gustavo Quinteros and has yet to win a game. In Menezes' debut, Grêmio drew 2-2 with Godoy Cruz in Argentina in the Copa Sudamericana, a result that can be considered positive. A few days later, the Gaúchos drew 1-1 with Vitória in Salvador after leading at half-time. Grêmio essentially didn't want to lose and got the job done. The Immortal could have scored in the last few minutes if it had been more effective. In midweek, when fans were hoping for their team's first win under Menezes, Grêmio lost 3-2 to CSA in the Copa do Brasil. The Tricolor has the second leg to turn the tie around, but it's unacceptable to lose to a Série C side having a 2-1 advantage in the 80th minute. The last three games have all been played on the road, and in all of them, Grêmio has let the lead slip after being ahead. The game with Santos will be the first at home with Menezes in charge, and a win is a must.

Grêmio: Lineup

Villasanti is injured but couldn't play anyway, as he received his third yellow card against Vitoria. Cuéllar should take the Paraguayan's place.

🔖Grêmio starting lineup (4-2-3-1)

Volpi – João Pedro, Jemerson, Wagner Leonardo, Marlon – Dodi, Cuéllar – Edenilson, Cristaldo, Olivera – Braithwaite

⛔️Out: Aravena, Amuzu, Gustavo Martins, Rodrigo Ely (injured), Villasanti (suspended)

👤Head Coach: Mano Menezes

Santos: Form and statistics

Santos has signed Cléber Xavier as coach, but the choice has raised doubts among fans. Xavier has been Tite's assistant for most of his career, including in the Brazilian national team, but has never been a head coach. Things didn't go well in Cléber Xavier's debut, and Santos almost lost at home to CRB in the third round of the Copa do Brasil. With the game tied 1-1, the Série B side missed a penalty in the last minute. It was the first leg, and so the Fish will have to win away to qualify. In the previous league match, interim coach César Sampaio couldn't avoid a home defeat against Bragantino, and Santos dropped to 19th in the standings. The club is going through a delicate time, and fans are beginning to think that Santos could return to the Série B, where it was last season.

Santos: Lineup

Soteldo, Bontempo, and Thaciano have recovered and are available to be called up by Cléber Xavier. Neymar isn't due to return until the end of the month.

🔖Santos starting lineup (4-2-3-1)

Gabriel Brazão – Aderlan, Zé Ivaldo, Gil, Escobar – João Schmidt, Diego Pituca – Soteldo, Thaciano, Rollheiser – Tiquinho Soares

⛔️Out: Neymar, Barreal, Zé Rafael, (injured)

👤Head Coach: Cléber Xavier

Grêmio vs Santos match prediction 04 May 2025

Both teams are going through an unstable period, with poor results and coach changes. Grêmio hasn't won in six games, Santos hasn't won in three, and both teams are in the relegation zone. Grêmio has a better chance of winning as it plays at home, but in reality, anything can happen in this match. As both teams have scored and conceded goals in almost every game, a BTTS bet could be a good option. I'm betting on a Double Chance in favor of Grêmio with a maximum of three goals scored.

Our match prediction: 1X & TU 3.5 for 1.65 at Betway.

Our betting tip for this Brasileirão match: BTTS-YES for 2.00 at Bet365.

Our final tip for this match: Correct Score 1-1 for 6.00 at 1xBet.
