Bragantino v Internacional

Bragantino vs Internacional Preview

Bragantino will want to bounce back with a win this Sunday afternoon when they entertain Internacional at their Estádio Nabi Abi Chedid following last weekend's 2-0 defeat away from home at the hands of Botafogo, while Internacional will be keen to break a three-match winless run in Serie A.

That defeat to Botafogo resulted in Bragantino dropping down the Serie A table to seventh place but they still remain only a point adrift of the top four pack and fourth placed Sao Paulo prior to this weekend's action and confidence will still be high having put together a five-match unbeaten run beforehand.

Bragantino had previously registered wins against Flamengo, Goias and Corinthians within this five-game unbeaten spell while the bigger picture shows Bragantino have suffered just two defeats in their last 12 matches overall.

The draw has been the most prominent result within Bragantino's last 12 matches as the hosts have been involved in no fewer than five stalemates within this period, four of which also produced goals for both teams as well.

Internacional will be hoping they can find a way out of their current mini slump as the visitors have failed to win any of their last three league matches in Serie A as they have been held to draws with Cruzeiro and Palmeiras along with being handed a 2-0 defeat away from home at Fluminense in between times.

Interestingly, Internacional had also put together a promising looking five-match unbeaten run prior to this current lull in proceedings as the visitors had picked up four wins and a draw beforehand which had given them hope of attaining at least a top 12 finish in this season's campaign.

Victories against Bahia, Vasco da Gama, Coritiba and America Mineiro will still give Internacional reason to believe that they can get a result of some sort away at Bragantino on Sunday afternoon although recent results on the road have been a little disappointing.

Internacional have managed to capture just two wins from their last eight outings on the road in the Brazilian top flight which includes four defeats as well, so the visitors may be happy to settle for a point in this clash.

Bragantino v Internacional Verdict

Bragantino bring a six-match unbeaten run on home soil at their Estádio Nabi Abi Chedid into this upcoming encounter with Internacional so the hosts will be confident that they can get something from this fixture on Sunday, especially as they will want to stay in touch with the top four clubs.

Two of the previous four meetings between these two clubs have resulted in draws and another stalemate could be on the cards here as well.
