Fluminense vs Red Bull Bragantino Match Analysis and Prediction

Red Bull Bragantino will be looking to pick up a fourth victory on the bounce for the first time since June 2021 when they travel to the Estadio Municipal General Raulino de Olivera to take on Fluminense on Sunday.

The hosts, who are unbeaten in nine consecutive matches across all competitions, aim to continue their fine run of form as they could move into second place in the Serie A standings witll all three points this weekend.

Fluminense extended their fine run of form as they fought back from behind to claim a 3-2 victory over Goias at the Estadio da Serrnha last Thursday.

Fernando Diniz’s side had previously seen their six-game winning streak across all competitions come to an end on July 17 when they were held to a 2-2 draw by Sao Paulo at the Estadio de Morumbi.

Having picked up 31 points from 18 matches, Fluminense are currently fourth in the Serie A standings, level on points with Athletico Paranaense and five adrift of leaders Palmeiras.

Meanwhile, Bragantino made it two league wins from two home matches last time out when they saw off the threat of Fortaleza by a 2-1 scoreline at the Estadio Nabi Abi Chedid.

Lucas Evangelista opened the scoring in the 37th-minute before Emanuel Britez restored parity in the 57th minute, but Gabriel Novaes scored a dramatic winner with what was the last crucial kick of the game.

Sunday’s visitors have now won each of their last three league matches, scoring nine goals and conceding just once since a 1-0 defeat against Botafogo on July 5.

The Massa Bruta have now picked up seven wins, six draws and lost five of their 18 matches so far this season, which has seen them collect 27 points and sit eighth in the league standings, level on points with seventh-placed Flamengo.
