Confianca faces Gremio at Estadio Lourival Baptista in the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil. The difference in team quality stands out: Confianca currently struggles near the bottom of the domestic rankings, while Gremio consistently competes at the top. The visitors have shown superior consistency, higher win rates, and better overall form. Martin Braithwaite’s sharp finishing for Gremio and Carlos Vinícius’s recent goal output give this fixture attacking intrigue, though both teams have their standout performers. Gremio’s control in possession and Confianca’s direct style should create a tactical contrast.
Hot stat: Gremio’s last five matches produced six goals, with Francis Amuzu scoring twice—he looks primed to threaten Confianca’s defense.

Confianca vs Gremio prediction
We predict Gremio to win. Their squad, featuring higher league experience and superior stats, outclasses Confianca in every key area. Confianca’s home form and tactical approach haven’t delivered consistent results—just one win in their last eight matches. Gremio’s recent results, higher goal output, and more reliable defense give them a clear edge.
Gremio’s playstyle: disciplined, compact, and patient in buildup—this leads to fewer fouls and cards. Over their last five matches, Gremio collected nine yellow cards and committed 74 fouls, signaling control but a readiness to disrupt when needed. Confianca’s stats lack detail, but their recent form and goalscoring record suggest defensive vulnerabilities and limited attacking threat. Gremio’s ability to control tempo, combined with their effective pressing, should suppress Confianca’s attacks and create several scoring chances.

Team Analysis
Confianca’s last matches show little promise. They fell 0-1 to Ituano, managed a 2-2 draw with Vitoria, and lost 1-2 to Fortaleza. The inability to keep clean sheets and a lack of consistent goalscorers persist. Their last encounter with Gremio ended 0-2, underlining the gap in class.
Gremio’s recent run is more impressive: a 3-0 win over Deportivo Riestra, a narrow 0-1 defeat to Flamengo RJ, and a solid 1-0 victory over Coritiba. They held Athletico PR to a goalless draw, highlighting their defensive organization. Braithwaite and Amuzu have provided crucial attacking impetus, and Gremio’s midfield consistently wins possession and distributes with purpose.

Possible Starting Lineups
Confianca’s squad is difficult to predict due to lack of recent stats, but they usually deploy a 4-2-3-1. We expect the coach to select the most experienced defenders and rely on a compact midfield, hoping for quick transitions. Keep an eye on any emerging forwards—they will need to be clinical to break Gremio’s lines.
Gremio possible starting eleven
- GK: Weverton
- DF: Viery, Wagner Leonardo, Fabián Balbuena, Gustavo Martins
- MF: Gabriel Mec, Arthur Melo, Leonel Pérez
- FW: Francis Amuzu, Martin Braithwaite, Carlos Vinícius
This lineup maximizes Gremio’s recent chemistry. Weverton offers reliability in goal, while Balbuena and Leonardo anchor the backline. Arthur Melo’s distribution and Gabriel Mec’s dynamism in midfield set the rhythm. Braithwaite, Vinícius, and Amuzu supply movement and end-product. Gremio should stick with their usual 4-2-3-1, focusing on width and quick interchanges.
