Gremio vs Alianza Lima Prediction and Betting Tips

Gremio will invite Alianza Lima to Arena do Grêmio in the second leg of the Copa Sudamericana knockout round playoffs on Wednesday. They met in the first leg in Lima last week, and the visitors registered a 2-0 win.

The hosts have endured a poor run of form and are winless in their last three games in all competitions. After a loss in the first leg, they were held to a 1-1 draw by Vasco da Gama in the Brazilian Serie A on Saturday. Defender Gustavo Martins scored an 80th-minute equalizer in that match.

The visitors failed to build on their win in the first leg and suffered a 2-0 loss to Cusco in their Liga 1 Clausura campaign opener on Saturday. They saw their unbeaten streak end after nine games and will look to bounce back here.
