An important duel in the bottom section of the Serie A, with both Athletico PR and Bragantino experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 14th and the visitors in 17th place.
Bragantino could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Serie A game only four sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Fortaleza. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
