Bragantino Red Bull
- Bragantino Red Bull are in 10th spot in Serie A 2026 on 41 points from 31 matches, who have won one, tied two and lost two of their last five.
- Massa Bruta are a high-intensity 4-2-3-1 side with full backs that like to get forward, an aggressive pressing game and the ability to catch teams on counterattacks at full pelt.
- Opponents have to be ready for the quick transition and so many goals have come from the fast breaks that Vagner Mancini's men have ridden to a top-half Serie A 2026 finish under his guidance since 30 October 2025.
- Massa Bruta have won seven, drawn three and lost five of their 15 home matches in Serie A 2026, and have scored 24 goals.
Chapecoense
- Chapecoense have been struggling, losing four of their last five.
- Verdão do Oeste are a more compact team that sit deeper in a low or mid block, and try to counter attack when they can, rather than create their chances through their pressing game.
- Lacerda took over the reins at Chapecoense on 30 May 2026 and has tried to make them a much tighter, harder-to-break-down side because they were being picked apart too easily.
- Chapecoense are in 20th spot in Serie A 2026 on 18 points from 30 games and they have won just one, drawn four and lost 11 of 16 away.
- They average just 0.69 goals per game on the road and concede 1.81, so it would take something special for them to get on the scoresheet against Bragantino.
Head-to-Head
- Bragantino Red Bull are the better side and they won the last meeting 2-1 away.
- we're with Bragantino because they are the superior side and have a head-to-head edge after beating Chapecoense 2-1 away five months ago.
Key Players
With Lucas Barbosa in form, having scored two of Bragantino's five goals in their last five, they will be looking to score in this game, but Chapecoense can get a goal with Mauricio Garcez going well with two goals in their last five.
