Match description
Cruzeiro has a clear advantage in attack and form — the hosts have scored 8 goals in their last 5 matches, while Grêmio have managed just 2 in the same period, and the home team’s goals per match at home is 1.67 versus the visitors’ 0.67 on the road. Statistically Cruzeiro averages 14.17 shots and 4.83 on-target shots per home game, compared to Grêmio’s 8.83 shots and 2.83 on-target shots away; the hosts also have a higher conversion rate of 12% versus 8% and superior average xG 1.5 vs 1.0. Defensively the hosts concede 1.17 goals per home match on average, while Grêmio concede 1.5 goals away; although Cruzeiro have conceded 7 goals in their last 5 matches, the visitors still present worse away metrics (away win percentage 0% and 67% losses). Additionally the hosts have kept 33% of home matches as clean sheets versus only 17% clean sheets for the visitors on the road, and over the last 5 fixtures they average 1.8 points per match versus Grêmio’s 1.0, highlighting the points advantage. Given the superiority in quantity and quality of chances (more shots, better xG and higher efficiency) and Grêmio’s very poor away form, I predict a home win.
