RB Bragantino vs Fluminense Prediction: Where is RB Bragantino heading?

Bragantino is in second place in the Brasileirão, nine points behind Botafogo, the team that has dominated the competition from the very beginning. At the moment, the Bragança Paulista side seems to be the only team with the quality and consistency to catch up with the league leader. But is that really the club's goal? Coach Pedro Caixinha refuses to assume that the Massa Bruta is fighting for the title, but rather to win every match, and revealed that the league trophy will be in the club's plans in a few years' time.

After a 3-1 win at the Vila Belmiro in which Red Bull once again showed its power, attention now turns to the match against Fluminense. Although the club didn't set itself any specific target, the Bragantino players secretly dream about winning the title. For that to happen, they need to win challenging games like this one against Fluminense. The Massa Bruta has not lost for seven matches but only once at home.

With a lot of determination, Fluminense managed to draw 3-3 at home against Corinthians. In a great game of football, the Tricolor went into the break 3-1 down against the Paulistas thanks to several defensive errors, including one by Marcelo, who made probably the worst back pass to the goalkeeper of his career. Fernando Diniz, who also coaches the Brazil national team, changed how the team played and didn't let Corinthians breathe in the second half. Fluminense pulled a draw, but the team lost several players for disciplinary reasons for the match with Bragantino. Marcelo, Lima, Felipe Melo, and Thiago Santos are suspended, while Nino is injured and cannot play either.

Fluminense has fallen a step behind in the table and is now in ninth place, although it is only two points off fourth place. A draw at the Bragantino stadium would be a good result, considering the missing players in the team. I'm betting on Red Bull as it is the top-performing team in the league right now and very strong at home.
