The duel between Palmeiras and Grêmio is the biggest poster game in the 29th day of the 2016 Brasileirão, also marked by the "classics" between Flamengo and Fluminense, Santos and Corinthians, Atlético and América and also the clash between Inter and São Paulo.

Palmeiras leads the table with 56 points after 28 rounds, three more than Porto Alegre International, four more than Flamengo and São Paulo and five more than ... Grémio, an opponent in this round. In practical terms, there are five teams that continue in the title fight and, within this lot, the Grémio is the one that is in a less favorable position.

The "Verdão" knows that the advantage he currently holds is very short and will only take a negative round to fall on the table. The team are in a good phase: they arrive here following three consecutive victories, all in games with a high degree of demand: Cruzeiro (3-1), Colo-Colo (2-0) and São Paulo (0-2).

At home, the victorious series of the Paulista emblem in championship matches is admirable: it goes in seven challenges in a row.

In addition to the championship, Palmeiras will be in Libertadores and will play in the semi-finals with Boca Juniors. Before the first leg against the "Xeneize", Palmeiras will still receive Ceará.

Felipe Melo and Vcitor Luis are suspended, Artur and Marcos Rocha injured, while Miguel Borja is in the service of the selection. Low in the set under the command of Luiz Felipe Scolari, coach who is preparing for another reunion with Grémio.


O Grémio is also preparing to play in the semi-finals of Libertadores - in the case against River Plate - and the involvement in the continental competition corresponds to the primary goal of the "Tricolor das Pampas" for the current season. Still, a victory in this challenge would re-launch the team in the title fight: it would reach 54 points and, at worst, would be two away from the leader - Palmeiras or Internacional.

The stage that the "gremistas" cross is identical to that of Palmeiras. The Rio Grande do Sul team are in good shape and before the tie of the last round in the welcome to Bahia (2-2), the Grémio came from a series of five consecutive victories, the only snub in the last ten challenges in the main events took place against rival Internacional, in Beira-Rio, in early September.

There is still a lot of championship ahead, but Grémio knows that this game could be very important for the rest of the race. To lose is expressly forbidden, the tie will be a lesser evil, a triumph will definitely launch the team.

Renato Gaucho will have to deal with some absences for this challenge. Besides Kannemann being in the service of the selection, Marcelo Grohe, Ramiro, Everton, Léo Moura and Bruno Cortez are in doubt.


Palmeiras is practicing good football, plays with the support of their fans and is a favorite to win in this match, even considering the importance that this game will have for the gremistas.
