In the upcoming fixture of Brazil Serie A, Matchday 5, Red Bull Bragantino will be up against America-MG at the Nabi Abi Chedid Stadium in Bragança Paulista. Going in the matchup, Bragantino stands 12th with a win and 5 points from 4 matches played, whereas America-MG is yet to register its first point in the competition.

The two teams last played in November 2022, and America MG unsettled Bragantino (1-4). From the last four matches played between the two, America MG has defeated Bragantino just once. However, the upcoming matchup is likely to see Bragantino winning without any complications. 

Going in the matchup, Red Bull Bragantino is coming off a draw against Gremio (3-3), in which Matheus Fernandes, Eduardo Sasha, and Thiago Borbas scored goals. With reasonable match winners in the lineup, Red Bull Bragantino is likely to come out positive and try to win in clean sheets against the struggling America-MG. Maintaining and continuing with the formation against Gremio, Bragantino will be all geared up for the upcoming home contest; however, their attention will be on minimizing the conceding average. In the last five matches played, Bragantino has scored 9 goals; however, in two of the last five matches, Bragantino failed to score. Hence, consistency is required from Bragantino as the competition progresses.

With three defeats, a draw, and a win in the last five matches across all competitions, America-MG is finding it difficult in Brazil's Serie A as well. In the last match against Cuiaba (1-2), in which Aloisio scored the opening goal in the 12the minute of play with an assist made by Everaldo. However, America-MG failed to capitalize on the momentum and lost in the lateral minutes of play. Matheus Fernando will be missing out on the upcoming fixture as he was suspended in the 90th minute of play. In 4 of the last 5 matches played, America-MG has scored positively, which makes them likely to score against Red Bull Bragantino. Apart from the 5 goals against Nova Iguacu, America-MG has scored only 4 goals in the last 4 matches. 

With Bragantino standing tall in the points table compared to the struggling teams in the table, the upcoming matchup is likely to have the home side dominating the visitors. America-MG has allowed 9 goals in the last five matches. Therefore, I predict Bragantino to have no such problems in scoring. The final scoreline is predicted to be 2-0 or even 2-1.
