Santos vs Gremio (Asian Handicap) prediction

Santos has mathematical chances of getting the title at the end of the season, despite being very difficult. But winning the game is not just to keep title chances, it means staying very near the direct qualification for the group stage of the Libertadores Cup, no need to play play offs qualification. Gremio also intends to finish in the top 6 to achieve qualification, irrespective of whether they play the play-off or not. But for them the mission is a little more difficult because seven teams vying for two seats (the fifth and sixth spot), whereas TOP4 should not have changes to the end of the season, especially if Santos win today. In this case they would keep 7-point lead for the fifth place with a real chance to increase the lead to 10 points! Home team is one of the most consistent teams playing at home with only 1 loss, 1 draw and 10 wins in last 12 games at home. Not scored goals in just two games (just in defeat against Figueirense, and draw against Flamengo), and the rest of the game scored at least two goals in each game, and conceded only 6 goals. Including the team has the best defense in league and the best THIRD attack. While Gremio is not solid games on road, only 2 wins in road games considering the Serie A in last 11 games, both 1-0, and both against teams that are in the relegation zone and close to the relegation zone. Another problem the team is expressionless attack on the road that scored only 6 goals in these games mentioned above. Santos has no significant absences, Vitor Bueno returns to team and coach Dorival Junior use offensive formation, pressing the opponent since start game. And considering both training and records of the teams; I can not imagine many away team possibilities to attack in the game and score goals against one of the best defenses. Also I can not imagine Santos don't score goals against Gremio, considering the high quality of the Santos attack; with Copete and Ricardo Oliveira. In addition to other players who have offensive characteristics and support the team in attack. Adding that the H2h with Santos playing at home; Santos lost only 2 times against Gremio in 19 games! In my opinion Santos wins the game 1-0 or 2-0, maybe 2-1. Any other result would be surprised in my opinion! I liked those odds with the option to protect half stake in the event of a tie!
