RB Bragantino host Atletico Mineiro at the Estadio Nabi Abi Chedid in Brazil's Serie A on Monday, with both sides having solid seasons so far.
RB Bragantino had an amazing start to the season but have faltered of late. Mauricio Barbieri's side are currently fifth in the league, seven points off the top of the table.
A win could potentially take Braga into third, four points off Monday's opponents.
Atletico Mineiro, on the other hand, had a slow start to the season, but have picked up form since then and are now top of the table.

Cuca's side are currently three points clear of Palmeiras in second place and this is a great chance for them to extend their lead. The Alvinegro are unbeaten in their last six games across all competitions and should be confident going into Monday's game.
Both sides have been in strong form this season and that should make for an exciting matchup.
