The Brasileiro Serie A returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Red Bull Bragantino play host to Juventude at the Estádio Nabi Abi Chedid on Saturday. Roger Machado’s men head into the weekend unbeaten in their last four games against the hosts in August 2021 and will look to extend this three-year streak.
Red Bull Bragantino were sent back down to earth in midweek as they suffered a 2-1 home defeat at the hands of Atletico Mineiro.
Before that, Pedro Caixinha’s side were on a four-game unbeaten run across all competitions, claiming three wins and one draw since mid-May.
With 12 points from eight matches, Bragantino are currently seventh in the Serie A standings but could move into second place with all three points this weekend.
Elsewhere, Juventude were denied back-to-back wins for the first time since March as they were held to a 1-1 draw by newcomers Vitoria last time out.
This followed a 1-0 home victory over Atletico Goianiense on June 5 which saw their three-match winless run come to an end.
With 10 points from seven games, Juventude are currently 12th in the league table, level on points with Internacional, Cruzeiro and Fortaleza.

After a slow start to the season, Juventude have picked up one win and two draws in their three matches and will be looking to maintain their fine run of form.
