Red Bull Bragantino vs Fluminense Prediction and Betting Tips | July 27th 2024
Red Bull Bragantino play host to Fluminense at the Estádio Nabi Abi Chedid in round 20 of the Brasileiro Serie A on Saturday. The visitors have turned a corner in recent weeks and will be looking to make it three league wins on the bounce for the first time this season.
Red Bull Bragantino booked their spot in the round of 16 of the Copa Sudamericana as they beat Barcelona SC 3-2 on Wednesday to secure a 4-3 aggregate win over the Ecuadorian outfit in the knockout stage playoff.
Before Wednesday’s result, Pedro Caixinha’s men picked up a 1-0 victory over Athletico Paranaense in the Serie A on July 21 to snap their three-game winless run.
With 25 points from 17 matches, Bragantino are currently ninth in the Serie A table, level on points with Paranaense and Atletico Mineiro.
Elsewhere, Fluminense turned in a defensive masterclass on Wednesday as they held firm to see out a 1-0 victory over Palmeiras at the Estádio do Maracana.
This followed a 1-0 victory over Cuiaba at the Arena Pantanal on July 22 which saw Mano Menezes’ men end their 10-game winless run in the league.
Fluminense have picked up 14 points from their 18 Serie A matches to sit 19th in the table but could move level with 16th-placed Cuiaba with all three points this weekend.
