Centro Sportivo Alagoano news

Rodrigo Rodrigues is set to lead the line again as a lone stricker in a 4-2-3-1 formation, while Lucao, Ton, Diego Renan and Lucas Marques could line up as the back four.

Yann Rolim, Bruno Mota, Didira and Marco Tulio were all introduced as subsititutes, and are likely to start on the bench again.

Gremio news

Jean Pyerre is out of contention for Gremio for a few days while Phelipe is set to miss out until early in December, both with thigh injuries.

Diego Souza scored twice for his side last time out against Sampaio Correa, and he will be looking to add onto his tally on Friaday.

Prediction and Odds

While Centro Sportivo Alagoano may be holding the home advantage heading into the contest, they have recently failed to find the formular of converting stalemates into wins.

Gremio will feel conficent following their victory last time out, but we feel the game will end in a share of the spoils.
