Gremio vs CSA prediction and betting tips on May 21 2025
Brazil Cup
Game Prediction
In the Round of 16 of the Brazilian Cup, on May 21, 2025, the return leg between Gremio and CSA will take place. The favorite needs to recover from a one-goal away defeat.
Our Prediction for Gremio vs CSA
The team from Porto Alegre earned only 45 points last season in the Brasileirão—Atletico Paranaense had three fewer and got relegated to Serie B. However, additional tiebreakers allowed Gremio to finish fourteenth. The visitors from Maceió remained at their usual mid-table level in the third division.
Currently, Mano Menezes’ squad, having lost the state championship final to Internacional, at least started the Copa Sudamericana with two wins, followed by draws against Godoy Cruz and Atlético Grau. In the previous round, they finished with a draw at home against the Argentinians. In the Brasileirão, however, losses exceed wins. They recently lost to São Paulo and dropped into the relegation zone. Igor Magalhães’ players managed to lose the Alagoas State Championship on penalties to ASA and started rather modestly in Serie C. They did beat Maringá 3-2, but only drew 0-0 with Tombense.
Braithwaite and company have yet to win a match in the cup proper. They advanced past São Raimundo RR and Athletic Club only via penalty shootouts after draws. Leading 2-1 at CSA’s stadium, they somehow conceded twice in the closing minutes! Before that, Thiago Marques and teammates had defeated Boavista (2-0 away) and Tuna Luso (5-0 at home).
