Red Bull Bragantino and Santos will face each other this Monday, 17th, at 8 pm (Brasília time), for the 32nd round of the Brasileirão. The match will be played at the Nabi Abi Chedid stadium, in Bragança Paulista.
Bragantino is coming off a 2-1 defeat against Coritiba, away from home, and is looking for rehabilitation to try to get back to the South American classification zone and get closer to the group that guarantees a spot in Libertadores. The team occupies the 13th place of the national, with 38 points.
Maurício Barbieri has the return of right-back Aderlan, who was suspended in the last round. With his return to the starting lineup, midfielder Raul returns to his official position. On the left side, the question is whether Luan Cândido will continue on the bench, as in the last game, or will resume the starting position in place of Ramon. In midfield, Hyoran had an indisposition and was not related to the game. With that, Eric Ramires should enter as a starter.
Santos arrives for the game against Red Bull Bragantino after beating Juventude, in Vila Belmiro. Under pressure, coach Orlando Ribeiro’s team approached the relegation zone, but breathed a sigh of relief when it reached 40 points and was in the middle of the Brazilian Championship leaderboard. To stay away from the Z-4, the Fish needs to win away from home.
Peixe counts on the important return of the right-back Nathan, who was suspended against Juventude for having been sent off in the previous match, against Atlético-MG. With the return of the player, the only holders who remain sidelined by injuries are defender Maicon and striker Soteldo. Otherwise, coach Orlando Ribeiro has maximum strength for this Monday.
Total Goals: Less Than 2.5
However, Bragantino’s recent matches, when it didn’t come out with the defeat, the Red Bull team didn’t get an elastic score. Thus, it is also likely that the match will not have many goals.
Both Teams To Score: No
Finally, with the good use of Bragantino, in matches played at Nabi Abi Chedid, Santos will have difficulties to pierce the defense of Massa Bruta. With this, the most likely is that the Santos team will return to the lowland without scoring goals.
