Red Bull Bragantino and Corinthians go head to head in an all-Brazilian affair in the Copa Sudamericana round of 16 on Tuesday. The visitors have failed to win their last five games against Pedro Caixinha’s men and will journey to the Estádio Nabi Abi Chedid looking to end this dry spell.
Red Bull Bragantino failed to find their feet in Serie A as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Corinthians in the first of their two consecutive league-and-cup clashes at the Neo Química Arena last Saturday.
Before that, Caixinha’s men were dumped out of the Copa do Brasil as they were beaten 3-2 by Athletico Paranaense in the second leg of their last 16 clash on August 7, having suffered a 2-0 defeat in the reverse leg one week earlier.
Bragantino now turn their attention to the Copa Sudamericana, where they finished second in Group H before claiming a 4-3 victory over Barcelona SC in the knockout-stage playoff in July.
Following last weekend’s stalemate, Corinthians have gone unbeaten in seven of their last eight matches across all competitions, claiming three wins and four draws since July 10.
This solid run of results has seen Ramón Díaz’s men reach the Copa do Brasil quarter-finals as they picked up a penalty-shootout victory over Gremio following a goalless draw over two legs.
However, Corinthians will now need to show their mettle at the Estádio Nabi Abi Chedid as they have failed to win eight of their last 10 away matches since the first week of May.
