Bragantino form and stats

The story so far in the Serie A for Bragantino at their home stadium (Estádio Nabi Abi Chedid) is 3 wins, 8 draws and 2 defeats.

Bragantino manager M. Nogueira Barbieri and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Internacional (placed 6th) in the Serie A. The hometeam coach M. Nogueira Barbieri made a successful contribution in the game against Internacional, bringing on Bruno Gonçalves who scored the equalizer in the 1-1 draw. Tomas Cuello (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.8/10. Cuello hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 50 successful passes (of 56 total).

A 2-2 draw away before that, with Ceara the opponent.

This is expected to be a close game, with Bragantino perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Bragantino as a small favourite), we find four games. Bragantino has won two of these, drawn zero and lost two.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Sport Recife are coming to town in four days.

The Bragantino fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 19 in 13 matches. On the other hand, Bragantino have conceded 17 goals.
