Red Bull Bragantino host bottom-side Sport in the Brazilian Serie A on Sunday, looking for their 10th win of the top-flight campaign. After losing only thrice from their opening 14 games of the league season, Braga have lost seven of their next eight, signaling a dramatic decline in form over the last two months.
That includes a 4-1 drubbing at the hands of Botafogo in their last outing before the international break.
It has seen them plummet to eighth position in the league standings with 30 points from 22 games and completely out of contention for the Copa Libertadores, both the group stage and the second stage.
Head coach Fernando Seabra has managed to survive in the job so far, but he's walking a tight rope here as more slip-ups could see him get the axe. Although Bragantino have another 16 games left in the season, the race for the top four is heating up with the side now six points off and 17 behind leaders Flamengo.
By contrast, Sport are rock bottom in the top-flight table with just one win and 10 points from 20 games. That solitary win came just last month when they secured a narrow 1-0 victory on the road to Gremio as Matheus Sales Cardoso struck the only goal of the game in the 51st minute.
