Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Grêmio B & Pelotas face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Copa Gaúcha. All the pre-match information is available here!
The visiting Pelotas played their last game only three days ago, a Gaucho 2 match. That game was also an away game, at Bage. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
