RB Bragantino vs Fortaleza
SAO PAULO (Interstat) — Fortaleza looks to continue its recent dominance over RB Bragantino when the Brazilian sides meet in a Carioca Série A match on Wednesday.
The game at Red Bull Arena pits a surging Fortaleza squad against a Bragantino team seeking to rebound from a heavy defeat.
Fortaleza (10-4-6) enters on a high after a 3-2 road victory over Bahia last Thursday. The club is unbeaten in its last five matches across all competitions, a run that includes four draws. That streak features a 3-1 win over Bragantino on July 26, part of a head-to-head sweep this year where Fortaleza won both meetings by an identical 3-1 scoreline.
Bragantino (7-3-10), meanwhile, is looking to recover from a 3-0 loss to Flamengo last Saturday. The home side has shown inconsistency, mixing impressive wins, like a 2-0 victory over Atletico Mineiro, with heavy losses.
According to Interstat’s game simulator, the contest is projected to end in a 1-1 draw. The match is scheduled for a 9 p.m. local time (2300 GMT) kickoff.
Fortaleza’s next match is at home against Atletico Mineiro on Sunday.
