The action continues in round 27 of Brasileiro Serie A as Red Bull Bragantino play host to Gremio at the Estadio Municipal Cicero De Souza Marques on Saturday. Mano Menezes’ Gremio will head into the weekend looking to get one over the home side, having failed to win the last five meetings between the sides since November 2021.
Red Bull Bragantino failed to find their feet on Wednesday, when they were held to a 1-1 draw by Mirassol after conceding a 75th-minute equaliser at the Estadio Jose Maria de Campos Maia.
With that result, Fernando Seabra’s side have now gone five straight matches without a win, losing twice and claiming three draws, and have managed just one victory in their 15 games in all competitions since mid-July.
This poor run of results has seen Bragantino drop to ninth in the Serie A standings, level on 33 points with this weekend’s visitors in 10th place.
Like the hosts, Gremio were left undone by a late equaliser last time out as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Santos after conceding with just one minute left on the clock.
However, Menezes’ men have now gone four consecutive matches without defeat (2W, 2D), having failed to win five of the six games preceding this run.
While Gremio will be looking to maintain their newfound form and leapfrog Bragantino in the table, they have failed to win any of their previous four away games in this fixture, losing three and claiming one draw since February 2021.
