In the early hours of Wednesday (CET), RB Bragantino and Atletico Mineiro go head-to-head at the Estadio Nabi Abi Chedid in the Brazilian Serie A.
Bragantino are looking to extending unbeaten runThe home team will look to maintain their recent four-game unbeaten run in all competitions, including three wins and a draw.
Despite that recent unbeaten run, Bragantino ended a three-game winless run in Serie A by recording a 2-0 win at Gremio. The game was another low-scoring encounter for Pedro Caixinha’s team, with their last five matches in the Brazilian top flight producing under 2.5 goals.
RB Bragantino has a strong recent home record. They are unbeaten in four home games in Serie A, having recorded three wins and a draw. A 1-1 draw against Flamengo in their last home match ended a three-game winning run on home soil in the Brazilian top-flight.
Atletico are searching for some consistencyThe visitors are currently searching for consistency, as they have won just one of their last four games in all competitions.
When it comes to Serie A, Atletico are unbeaten in their previous six games, having recorded two wins and four draws. They have also been relatively prolific, scoring at least two goals in three of their last four matches.
A victory in this clash would see the visitors leapfrog their sixth-place opponents in the Serie A standings.
The visitors' recent away record has been inconsistent. Although they are unbeaten in the last three away games, they have also won just once in their previous four Serie A matches on their travels.
Their recent away games have at least produced goals, with over 2.5 goals scored in four of their previous five away games.
What am I backing?I believe this could be a relatively even encounter, with not much between the two teams. Therefore, with that in mind, the bet I am backing is the draw.
