Red Bull Bragantino entertain reigning champions Atletico Mineiro in their upcoming Brasileiro Serie A action at the Nabi Abi Chedid Stadium on Wednesday.
Both teams have eight points from five league games so far and have endured identical results in league fixtures. They have two wins, one loss and played out two draws so far.
The hosts suffered a 1-0 loss at the hands of Corinthians, with Renato Augusto scoring the winning goal in the 54th minute of the game. The visiting side, on the other hand, suffered a 2-1 defeat at the hands of local rivals America Mineiro last time around.
Both sides will be looking to return to winning ways before the Copa Libertadores group stage fixtures next week.
