Gremio will aim to secure the top spot in Group C of the Copa Libertadores when they host Estudiantes at the Estadio Couto Pereira on Saturday. Gremio has already ensured their place in the knockout stages, but a win here would confirm their position as group leaders.

Gremio achieved a crucial 1-0 win against Huachipato in their last match, with Diego Costa scoring the decisive goal early on. This victory was essential for their qualification to the next round of the Copa Libertadores.

With nine points from their games so far, Gremio is just one point behind group leaders The Strongest. A win against Estudiantes will ensure they finish at the top of Group C.

Historically, Gremio has a good record against Estudiantes, winning three out of their five encounters.

Estudiantes recently played out a 1-1 draw against Godoy Cruz in the Argentine Primera Division. They have struggled lately, being winless in their last three matches and already eliminated from the Copa Libertadores.

With only four points from five matches in the group, Estudiantes have no chance of progressing further. They will aim to avoid ending their campaign with a string of defeats.

Gremio will be without midfielder Mathias Villasanti, who is with the Paraguay squad for the Copa America. They also have several injured players: Pedro Geromel, Andre Henrique, Lucas Mila, Jhonata Robert, and Cristian Pavon.

Diego Costa, who scored the crucial goal in the last game, is expected to lead the attack again.

Estudiantes are missing midfielder Javier Altamirano, who has been out since March with a head injury, and forward Guido Carrillo, who is sidelined with a thigh injury.

I predict Gremio to win 2-1 against Estudiantes. Gremio has been in good form, winning their last three games, and should be too strong for Estudiantes, who are the weakest team in the group.

格雷米奥的目标是确保解放者杯C组头名，他们将于周六在库托佩雷拉体育场主场迎战学生队。格雷米奥已经确保了他们在淘汰赛阶段的位置，但是一场胜利将会巩固他们小组第一的地位。

格雷米奥在上一场比赛中以1比0战胜瓦奇帕托，迭戈·科斯塔早早打进了决定性的进球。这场胜利对他们晋级下一轮解放者杯至关重要。

到目前为止，格雷米奥已经积了9分，只落后小组第一的最强队1分。一场对大学生队的胜利将确保他们在C组出线。

从历史上看，格雷米奥对阵大学生队的战绩很好，五次交锋中赢了三次。

学生队最近在阿根廷甲级联赛中1-1战平戈多伊克鲁兹队。他们最近表现不佳，在最近三场比赛中没有获胜，并且已经被淘汰出了解放者杯。

学生队在小组五场比赛中只得到4分，没有进一步晋级的机会。他们的目标是避免以一连串的失败结束竞选。

格雷米奥将没有中场球员比利亚桑蒂，他将随巴拉圭国家队征战美洲杯。他们还有几名受伤的球员:佩德罗·杰罗姆、安德烈·恩里克、卢卡斯·米拉、乔纳塔·罗伯特和克里斯蒂安·帕翁。

在上一场比赛中打进关键进球的迭戈·科斯塔有望再次领导进攻。

大学生队的中场球员哈维尔·阿尔塔米拉诺因为头部受伤从三月份就开始缺阵，前锋吉多·卡里略因为大腿受伤缺阵。

我预测格雷米奥会以2比1战胜学生队。格雷米奥的状态很好，最近三场比赛都赢了，对于学生队来说，他们的实力太强大了，他们是小组中最弱的球队。
