Grêmio and Inter are going through different moments in the season
In 2023, Grêmio won the Campeonato Gaúcho for the sixth consecutive time. However, in this final stretch of the season, it is Inter fans who have been smiling the most. This is because Colorado is a semi-finalist in the Copa Libertadores and has a good chance of reaching the continental decision.
Tricolor, in turn, was recently eliminated from the Copa do Brasil, has no continental competitions on its calendar and, therefore, will only compete in the Brasileirão until the end of the season. In the points tournament, Imortal occupies third place. Inter, in turn, is 11th.
