Santos take on the visitors Gremio in the round 20 match of Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played on Sunday, August 20th at Estadio Urbano Caldeira (Santos).
The esteemed Santos is struggling in the current Serie A season and currently finds itself in the fourth position from the bottom of the table - in the relegation zone. However, there is a tight competition among the teams at the bottom, so the battle for survival is still ahead. Points need to be accumulated, and victories need to be secured. And for that, goals are necessary. Santos' home matches in the championship have been quite entertaining. In their last four home games, the Fish have exchanged goals with their opponents: a defeat against Flamengo (2-3), a victory against Goias (4-3), draws against Botafogo (2-2), and Atletico Paranaense (1-1).

Gremio, despite its instability, are having a generally decent season. Currently, the Musketeers are in the third position on the table and are actively competing for medals. If not for the gold, then at least for the silver. Gremio's matches also often involve a back-and-forth of accurate strikes with their opponents. For example, in their home game against Fluminense (2-1) or away against Goias (1-1). In total, in 18 rounds of the championship, the Musketeers have scored 28 goals and conceded 23. The goal difference for the team is quite conducive to the Both Teams to Score bet.
There is no clear favorite in this match, as both teams have been unstable lately. I wouldn't venture to predict the outcome of the match. However, considering the recent goal-scoring trends in the matches of both teams, I believe it's worth considering the Both Teams to Score bet in the face-off between the Fish and the Musketeers. They are both capable of frustrating each other at least once. They have already played against each other once this season, and the BTTS bet did not hit. However, that match was at the very beginning of the championship when players were just getting into form. Now, the scenario for the head-to-head match between Santos and Gremio will likely be quite different. At least for the odds of 1.95, the risk seems justified.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
