Bitesize Prediction: Internacional vs RB Bragantino – 9/29/22

Competition: Brazilian Serie A

Market: International Victory

Rating: 4/5 @

Looking to extend what has been a stellar purple spot, Internacional will host Bragantino at the Estádio Beira-Rio in the early hours of Thursday.

Starting with the hosts, last seen on September 20 in a deserved 2-1 win at Atlético Goianiense, Internacional have had a stunning run this term. Making a series of improvements this year, head coach Mano Menezes has seen his top-flight team earn a round of applause across Brazil. Marking their return to action sitting second in the standings and on pole position to claim a Copa Libertadores berth, Colorado will feel a golden chance to score another scorer here. In fact, on a run that is highlighted by a 3-0 home loss to Fluminense last month, Internacional have collected 16 points in their last six Serie A outings. that Menezes' men have won their last three home matches by an aggregate score of 8-0.

As for the visitors, last seen losing their lead as they had to settle for a 1-1 draw at home to Goias, Bragantino find themselves in the middle of a prolonged rut. Now only clinging to their place in the top 12 on goal difference, the Red Bulls have now failed to win any of their last seven consecutive Serie A clashes, a run dating back to July 31. Having to settle for just one point in four of their previous five top-flight competitions, Maurício Barbieri's men have also shown some rather blatant struggles on the road. Including a 3-0 in Sao Paulo last month, Bragantino have picked up just one point in one of their previous five away encounters at the Estádio Nabi Abi Chedid. Given the recent sinkhole in class, a home win can be found at attractive odds here.

Bet: Internacional 4/5 beat RB Bragantino in Thursday's Serie A battle in Brazil@
