Red Bull Bragantino will host Juventude at the Estadio Nabi Abi Chedid on Sunday in the 20th game week of the Brasileiro Serie A.
After struggling in June, the Massa Bruta found form earlier this month, picking up solid wins over Avai, America Mineiro and Fortaleza. They, however, saw their winning streak come to an end last weekend, as they were beaten 2-1 by high-flying Fluminense. Bragantino fell to a quickfire double from their opponents midway through the second half before Luan Candido scored a consolation goal.
Bragantino sit eighth in the league standings with 27 points from 19 games. They'll now look to shake off their latest result and get their campaign back on track when they play this weekend.
Trending
Juventude, meanwhile, have endured a poor second season in the top flight and currently languish deep in the drop zone. They, however, returned to winning ways in their last game, beating Ceara 1-0 on home turf. Huesca loanee Isidro Pitta scored the sole goal of the game just after the hour mark to end his 12-game goal drought.
The visitors have picked up just 16 points from 19 league games this season and sit 19th in the league standings. They're just one point above the bottom team and will look to widen that gap on Sunday.
