Our Predictions
Cruzeiro is 3rd with 56 points, showing solid away form and recently beat Grêmio 4-1 and 2-0. Grêmio, sitting 11th and missing key players, struggles for consistency. At 2.35 odds, Cruzeiro’s motivation and attacking threat give them the edge.
Recent meetings have seen clean sheets: 2 of the last 3 H2Hs had one side blanked. Grêmio’s injuries limit their attacking options, and Cruzeiro's defense is among the league’s best. 1.75 odds suggest a likely scenario where one team fails to find the net.
With Grêmio low on goals and creativity, and Cruzeiro’s defense tough to break, a low-scoring match is likely. Under 2.5 goals hit in 3 of the last 5 H2Hs and is backed by odds of 1.57. Expect a tight, cautious affair.

Grêmio vs Cruzeiro: Serie A Clash – Predictions, Analysis & Betting Tips | Extratips
Welcome back to Extratips! All eyes are on Arena do Grêmio as Grêmio hosts Cruzeiro on November 5th, 2025, in a crucial Serie A showdown.
Both teams are coming in from very different seasons. Grêmio sits 11th with 36 points, fighting for every win. Cruzeiro bursts into this match in 3rd place with 56 points, aiming to keep their grip on the top.
Recent history favors Cruzeiro: They hammered Grêmio 4-1 in July and have taken points in 3 of the last 5 encounters, including a 2-0 away win and a strong home draw. Grêmio, though, have had their moments, besting Cruzeiro 3-0 last year.
At home, Grêmio has been inconsistent, winning just 2 of their last 5, drawing 2, and losing 1. Cruzeiro’s away form is better – 3 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss recently.
But both squads face big absences. Grêmio miss key attackers like Martin Braithwaite and defender Willian, while Cruzeiro are without Fagner and Matheus Henrique. This could tilt the flow.
Kaio Jorge, with 15 goals and 7 assists, is the visitors’ danger man. Edenilson and Braithwaite are usually threats for Grêmio if fit.
Keep an eye on: Grêmio’s defensive struggles and injury woes, Cruzeiro’s clinical attack, and whether Grêmio’s home crowd can make a difference. Unique angles: Can heavily rotated lineups create late-season surprises? Will Grêmio finally stop their slide? Are Cruzeiro already looking ahead to Copa Libertadores qualification?
This one’s set up for a hard-fought battle. Let’s dig into the best bets and predictions for this classic Serie A fixture.
