RB Bragantino vs Internacional Prediction: Two good teams meet in a balanced duel

Red Bull Bragantino and Internacional de Porto Alegre meet at the Nabizão in perhaps one of the most balanced games of the round. Bragantino is in seventh place with 24 points, while Inter is a little further down in 11th with just two points less. Brazilian football is relentless with its coaches, and it just made another victim, Mano Menezes. Despite a draw with champions Palmeiras, the Inter coach could not resist and was dismissed. Eduardo Coudet, who has already been sacked from Atlético Mineiro this season, is expected to debut in charge of the Colorado side in this match. It will not be an easy first match for the Argentine coach, as Bragantino is doing a good championship and is a strong team at home.

The Massa Bruta finally lost after seven games without defeat. The defeat came, however, on the ground of the Brasileirão leader, Botafogo. Bragantino played a good game nonetheless, finishing with 63% possession and 17 shots made. The Cariocas won 2-0, being very effective at finishing once again. The team from Bragança Paulista has many problems with injuries, affecting eleven players. Pedro Caixinha's team has been doing a good championship but didn't score goals in the last two matches. Bragantino won five games at home, drew two, and lost only once. 

It seems the bureaucracy will allow Eduardo Coudet to be on the bench to guide his new team. The Colorado has good players in its squad, and the Argentine can boost the quality of the players. Inter has been without a win or a goal for three matches. Enner Valencia has joined the squad but has yet to score with the red shirt. The team needs a win to gain confidence. The round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores is approaching, and Inter has a complicated opponent in River Plate. But first comes Bragantino, and a draw might be a good result for the Porto Alegre team.

Bragantino will probably have more ball possession and is considered the favorite for this match. I will nevertheless bet on a game with less than three goals. Both teams have scored few goals, and this type of bet could prevent a surprise.
