Why Bet on Bragantino?
Until a couple of weeks ago, Bragantino was fighting for the Brazilian league title, but a four-game winless streak (with three losses) now has them in sixth place. However, they have to be thankful that their rivals have also been dropping points along the way and are only 4 points behind leaders Palmeiras and Flamengo with 3 games to go in the championship. Of course, they need to win to stay in the fight, and also to gain a direct place in the next Copa Libertadores.
The team’s last match ended with a 1-0 defeat at Internacional de Porto Alegre, which dropped them to sixth place, for now with a place in the qualifying round of South America’s top club tournament.
Bragantino has lost to São Paulo, Flamengo, and Inter and drew with Botafogo, conceding an average of one goal per game. Despite this, they are one of the best defenses in the championship with 31 goals conceded and have been a great home side, losing only two of 17 matches.
Their most dangerous player is striker Eduardo Sasha, who has 10 goals and two assists. However, he has not scored a goal in seven matches.
Is remarkable that Bragantino has won three of the last five matches against this opponent, but in one of the defeats, they were thrashed 6-0.
Thiago Borbas will return after serving his suspension, while Cipriano, Eduardo Santos, Luan Patrick, and Nathan Camargo are injured in Pedro Caixinha’s team.
Why Bet on Fortaleza?
Fortaleza’s great achievement during 2023 was at the international level, reaching the final of the Copa Sudamericana, which it lost on penalties against Liga de Quito from Ecuador.
In its last match, the team from the state of Ceará earned a valuable 2-2 draw at home against Palmeiras, the current leader of the Brasileirão, which also served to tighten the championship in the fight for the title.
The ‘Leão do Pici’ is in 12th place with 45 points, qualifying for the next Sudamericana and with no chance of reaching the 2024 Libertadores. However, with three games left, they are only four points ahead of the last team losing the category.
Fortaleza is on a dismal nine-game winless streak, drawing the last two games and losing six times in that period. Although Argentinean coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda will finish the year in charge, the team’s performance in the local league has not been at the expected level, and there is already talk of changes for next year.
The injured players of the team are Amorin, Hércules, and Zanocelo.
