Grêmio seeks to resume victories in the Brasileirão against the pressured Santos

Grêmio seeks to return to the path of victories in the Brazilian Championship against the pressured Santos, who will not have Neymar for the duel this Saturday (23), at 7pm (Brasília time), in Porto Alegre.

Tricolor and Peixe arrive for the clash valid for the 17th round with 18 points, in 15th and 16th place, respectively. A defeat could leave one of the teams in the relegation zone, depending on the score between Corinthians and Atlético on Sunday (24).

The tension is not greater on Grêmio's side due to the good results in parallel competitions. On Wednesday (20), Imortal beat Palestino in the Copa Sudamericana, in addition to recently qualifying comfortably for the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil.

Santos also played in the knockout tournament, but drew with San Lorenzo this past week in the "Sula". The São Paulo team no longer depends solely on itself to advance to the next stage.

In the most recent commitments for the Brasileirão, the scenarios for Grêmio and Santos were also different. Luís Castro's men drew away from home against Bahia, while Cuca's men were beaten in front of Coritiba fans.

How Grêmio arrives
Left-back Pedro Gabriel and midfielder Gabriel Mec are suspended. Caio Paulista naturally enters the corridor, while Braithwaite appears as an alternative to play behind striker Carlos Vinicius.

Another option is Willian, preserved against the Palestinian.
