Brasileiro Serie A picks for Gremio vs. Chapecoense
Before you tune in to Wednesday's Brasileiro Serie A matchup, you need to see the Brazil Serie A picks from Brazilian-born soccer expert Igor Mello. A managing soccer editor for CBS Sports, Mello was born in Brazil and has covered the top flight of major European leagues, but has a soft spot for the Canarinho. An avid fan of Joga Bonito and the flair that comes with the league, Mello knows the Brazilian game inside and out.
For Chapecoense vs. Gremio, Mello sees value in betting the draw at +280. Gremio's only win in league play this season came against Fluminense on July 17 and goals have been extremely hard to come by for what is typically one of the top clubs in Brazil.
Gremio has only scored more than one goal in a game twice this season and hasn't accomplished this feat since June 24 against Santos. Meanwhile, Chapecoense has been shut out in four of its last six league games. Plus, Monday games in the Brasileiro have typically been low-scoring affairs.
"Monday games are typically a defensive struggle, as six league games thus far have only produced nine total goals scored and the home team has gone 1-1-4," Mello told SportsLine. "While it might be tempting to pick a winless Chape team against a one-win Gremio squad, I'm going with a draw."
