The Brasileiro Serie A returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Red Bull Bragantino play host to Sao Paulo on Wednesday. Hernan Crespo’s men have failed to win their last eight visits to the Estádio Cicero de Souza Marques since March 2019 and will be looking to end this six-year run.
Thiago Borbas grabbed the headlines for Red Bull Bragantino when he struck in the 97th minute to hand them a 2-1 victory over Corinthians at the Neo Química Arena last Sunday.
Prior to that, Fernando Seabra’s side saw their run of three consecutive victories in all competitions come to an end on June 12 after a 3-0 home defeat at the hands of Bahia.
Red Bull Bragantino have picked up 26 points from their 13 Serie A matches so far to sit third in the league table, just one point behind league leaders Flamengo.

With just 12 points from their 13 Serie A games so far, Sao Paulo are currently 15th in the league standings, just one point above the relegation zone.
