Grêmio is set for a crucial home fixture this Tuesday in the Copa Sudamericana, looking to bounce back after a tough start to their continental campaign. The Tricolor will host Argentina's Deportivo Riestra at the Arena do Grêmio in the second round of the group stage.

After suffering a defeat away to Montevideo City Torque in their opening match, securing three points at home becomes paramount for Grêmio's tournament hopes. Their Argentine opponents, Deportivo Riestra, enter the match following a draw with Chile's Palestino.

Head coach Luís Castro has shuffled his lineup from the recent Gre-Nal derby, signaling a focused approach for this South American clash. Key midfielder Arthur moves to the bench, with Dodi, Nardoni, and Noriega earning starting spots in the midfield. Up front, the attack will be led by the experienced Martin Braithwaite, supported by Tetê and Gabriel Mec.

Playing in front of their home supporters, Grêmio will be aiming to harness the energy of the Arena to ignite their Copa Sudamericana journey and climb the Group D table.
