Round 11 of the Brasileiro Serie A comes to an end on Thursday when Red Bull Bragantino take on Flamengo at the Estádio Nabi Abi Chedid.
While the hosts will be looking to end their three-match winless run, the Rubro-Negro set out to pick up a fifth win on the spin across all competitions.
Red Bull Bragantino failed to arrest their slump in form as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Atletico Mineiro a fortnight ago.
Prior to that, Pedro Caixinha’s men saw their three-game winning streak come to an end on June 4, when they were beaten 2-1 by Fluminense, four days before playing out a 1-1 draw with Estudiantes in the Copa Sudamericana.
With 14 points from 10 games, Red Bull Bragantino are currently 12th in the Serie A standings, but could move as high as sixth place with a win on Thursday.
Elsewhere, Flamengo turned in a performance of the highest quality as they steamrolled Gremio 3-0 last time out.
Jorge Sampaoli’s men have now won their last four games and are unbeaten in 10 consecutive outings, picking up seven wins and three draws since a 2-1 loss against Athletico Paranaense on May 7.
With 19 points from 10 matches, Flamengo are currently third in the league table, five points behind first-placed Botafogo.
