Grêmio vs Novo Hamburgo – Preview, Prediction and Betting Tips 06/02/2024

Grêmio returns to the field in the Rio Grande do Sul state league on Tuesday night, when they host the Novo Hamburgo team.

At the time of the sixth round of the championship, the competition now reaches its halfway point in the qualifying phase and from now on, each round is important for defining the classifieds.

The Campeonato Gaúcho has a total of 12 teams, the top 8 placed advance to the next phase and the last 2 in the table fall to the second division.

Grêmio

Grêmio is leading the competition with 12 points and it is very important that they beat Novo Hamburgo in this round, as they compete round by round for the top of the table, with Internacional.

Taking into account that the direct confrontation against Inter will be at the opponent’s home, it is important that Grêmio remains ahead, to be able to play for a draw when this confrontation arrives.

But Grêmio has been absolutely criticized, despite having 4 consecutive victories in the last few games.

After their debut with a defeat against Caxias, the team has managed to win their matches, but with absolutely poor performances.

In the last 3 games, Grêmio won by just one to zero, beating Brasil de Pelotas away from home, Juventude as home team and in the last round, Avenida, playing away from home.

Against Juventude, playing at home, Grêmio was much inferior. They were under pressure throughout the second half and the victory certainly didn’t reflect what happened on the field.

Against Brasil de Pelotas and Avenida, Grêmio played a mixed team, even so, they were slightly superior in the matches, but with a pragmatic and uninspired performance.

Coach Renato, in press conferences, has been demanding the management, which does not bring reinforcements. The coach complains about a very short squad and that he has been dealing with injuries. In fact, Soteldo, his main signing for the season, will only return in 2 months.

Certainly against Novo Hamburgo, playing at home, Grêmio is a huge favorite, not least due to the quality of the opponent.

But still, we have to be careful with very tight lines for the favorite team.

Novo Hamburgo

Novo Hamburgo appears in fifth place with 8 points, managing to consolidate itself in the playoff classification zone.

The team has 2 wins, 2 draws and one defeat, with only 4 goals scored and 3 conceded.

It has an absolutely evident difficulty in being a team with a good proposition capacity.

In the last match, for example, the home team beat São Luiz with great difficulty, with a score of 1-0.

Another game where it was very difficult to be a dominant team in the match and the match was heading towards a goalless draw, until Luam, in the 82nd minute, scored the only goal of the game.

Certainly against Grêmio, playing away from home, Novo Hamburgo will be absolutely reactive, and the tendency is that Grêmio can win this match, especially given the difficulty that Novo Hamburgo has presented this season.

The team hasn’t lost away from home yet, but it hasn’t won either, as there have been 2 draws. It was 0-0 against Brasil de Pelotas and 1-1 against Ypiranga.

Conclusion:

Despite all of Grêmio’s difficulties, Tricolor is still vastly superior to Novo Hamburgo. But a very stretched handicap is certainly dangerous, given its recent standard. The market for both teams not to score is a great betting option, as it has been in Grêmio’s last 3 games in the championship.
