It will be a reunion with Tricolor after their first-round meeting in the 2022 edition, when Leão Caipira advanced. 

Mirassol picked up seven of the last nine available points in the Brasileirão, moving out of the relegation zone.

Rafael Guanaes will be without Aldo Filho, who suffered an injury and could be sidelined for up to three months.

On the other hand, Neto Moura and Alesson are available again.

Grêmio 🇪🇪

Things are not going well at all. And they got even worse after the team’s elimination from the Copa Sudamericana, including a defeat to Bolívar in Porto Alegre. 

The mission is to end a six-match winless streak and give Luís Castro some extra breathing room.

There are several new developments. While Kannemann is suspended, Carlos Vinícius and Leo Perez return from suspension.

Wallace is the new face in defense.

After coming on during the match against Bolívar, Villasanti and Marlon return to the starting lineup. 

Jovane Cabral and Diego Caito are also options again - they were not registered for the Copa Sudamericana. The full-back starts.
