Red Bull Bragantino will host Palmeiras at the Estadio Nabi Abi Chedid on Saturday in the 25th gameweek of the Brasileiro Serie A.
The hosts have had mixed results this season but have especially struggled for results recently, going winless throughout August. They were beaten 1-0 by Corinthians in their last game. Bragantino fell behind just after the half-hour mark and failed to get back into the game despite their dominance after the interval.
The Massa Bruta sit mid-table in 11th place with 31 points from 24 games and will look to return to winning ways this weekend.
Palmeiras, meanwhile, have enjoyed a stellar league campaign and are in contention for their 11th Brasileiro Serie A title. They, however, struggled in a 1-1 draw against Fluminense in their last league outing. Palmeiras then lost 1-0 to Athletico Paranaense in the first leg of their Copa Libertadores semifinal on Wednesday.
The visitors sit atop the Brasileiro Serie A standings with 50 points from 24 games. They will look to shake off their latest results and get their campaign back on track on Saturday.
