Seeking to end their eight-game winless run, Red Bull Bragantino play host to Internacional at the Estádio Nabi Abi Chedid on Monday.
The visitors, on the other hand, head into the game on an impressive 12-game unbeaten streak and will look to keep the ball rolling.
Red Bill Bragantino were dumped out of the Copa do Brasil on Wednesday, when they were beaten on penalties by Goias.
They have failed to taste victory in eight straight games across all competitions, including each of their last four Serie A outings.
With 10 points from eight games, Red Bull Bragantino are currently 14th in the league standings, one point and two places off Monday’s visitors.
Elsewhere, Internacional were involved in a share of the spoils for the fifth consecutive game in Serie A as they played out a 1-1 draw with Atletico Goianiense last time out.
This followed an impressive 5-1 victory over 9 de Octubre in the Copa Sudamericana which saw them secure the top spot in Group E.
Internacional are now unbeaten in each of their last 12 games in all competitions, stretching back to April’s 2-0 loss to Atletico Mineiro.
