RB Bragantino vs Atletico-MG Recent Form Analysis

RB Bragantino have won their past two games in Serie A after previously losing four games on the spin, which does not bode well with their chances of qualifying for the Sudamericana. It has been a worrying end to the season for the Red Bull associated club, winning just three matches in their past 12 league games, dropping valuable points against teams they should be beating. After beating Hernan Crespo's side Sao Paulo 1-0 in their last match, it could serve as a confidence boost going into this 6-pointer, with star player Jhonatan getting man of the match alongside scoring the only goal. 38 goals scored and 50 conceded is where we stand with RB Bragantino, which is the third most goals shipped in the league, and the most outside of the drop zone.

Atletico-MG are currently on a six game unbeaten streak, and just one loss in their last eight matches in all competitions, scoring ten goals in their last four matches as well. Jorge Sampaoli's men are doing all they can to secure a Sudamericano place, having fell down the table in recent times, since from 2020-2023, they finished inside the top three for three out of the four seasons, winning Serie A in 2021. Galo Forte Vingador is a term of affection for fans of Atletico-MG in Brazil, signalling their strong will, with another nickname being 'O Time da Virdara' which means 'The Comeback Club' and so far they're living up to that nickname, bouncing back from a poor run of form at the back end of summer going into autumn.

RB Bragantino have never beaten Atletico-MG in their club's history, having only been promoted to Serie A back in 2020, as they have lost six and drew five, with both teams scoring in 10 of those 11 games. Mineiro will be looking to capitalise on their huge head to head advantage and take home a much needed three points, potentially diminishing RB's hopes of a Sudamericano qualification spot come the end of the season.

Our team of in-house experts has priced both teams to score here, as in 10 of the previous 11 meetings, both teams have found the net, and Bragantino have conceded the most amount of goals outside of the relegation zone in Serie A, with both teams needing a win admist pressure from others around them chasing Sudamericano qualification.

Key Players to Watch*

Jhonatan: Undoubtedly RB Bragantino's best player this season, as he has really set the Serie A alight with his ability, Jhonatan has scored 11 goals and assisted 9 in all competitions this season, having not scored a single goal for his former side Palmeiras in four seasons. His 8 league goals ranks him in the top 3% of players in his position, the top 6% for his 5 league assists, and the top 1% for his chances created and successful crosses. But statistically, he is the best dribbler in his position with 74 successful dribbles, and with an excellent workrate to back it up, Atletico will find it extremely difficult to lock the Brazillian down.

Everson: Speaking of locking down Jhonatan, there isn't many better shot-stoppers in Serie A than this man right here, as he's kept 11 clean sheets in 30 matches for his side, saving 93 shots, and has prevented 5.66 goals. His Manuel Neuer esque sweeping ability and long ball traits allow for a seamless counter attack for Mineiro, and can transition them from 0 to 100 real quick. 3 clean sheets in his past five matches? Unreal. The brick wall of Atletico, score if you can.
