Bragantino take on the visitors Atletico Mineiro in the round 29 match of Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played on Thursday, October 26th at Estádio Nabi Abi Chedid (Bragança Paulista).
RB Bragantino are having an excellent season. After a sensational but away defeat to Bahia in mid-August, the Bulls have not lost a match in the championship for eight consecutive games. They won six of them and played to a draw in two. As a result, Bragantino's footballers have risen to the second spot in the Brazilian Serie A. Yes, they are seven points behind the leaders, Botafogo, but Red Bull representatives still have a chance to compete for the gold. At the moment, they are the top contenders for the silver medals of the championship. Bragantino plays superbly at home, having won their last four league matches on their own turf, defeating Cuiaba (2-0), Gremio (2-0), Palmeiras (2-1), and Fluminense (1-0).

Atletico Mineiro finished only 14th in the Brazilian championship last year. However, in the current season, they are performing much better and are currently in seventh place in the table, which secures them a spot in the South American Cup. Only one point separates them from the top six and just four from the top four. In most matches, Luis Felipe Scolari's team performs quite well. However, unlike the hosts of the upcoming match, the Roosters have recently had some slip-ups and have been dropping points. There are plenty of examples. In August, Atletico lost to Vasco da Gama, a team in the relegation zone (0-1). In September, they drew against Atletico Paranaense (1-1), and in October, they suffered two home defeats, losing to Cruzeiro Mineiro (0-1) and Coritiba (1-2), the second-to-last team in the Serie A table at the moment.
Overall, this season, the Bulls look better than their opponents, with a higher position in the table and nine more points in their tally. Recently, Bragantino have been more stable, rarely losing points, and has only suffered one defeat in their last 13 league matches. On the other hand, Atletico have lost twice in their last three league matches. Additionally, the Bulls have been performing exceptionally well away from home this season in Serie A: nine wins, four draws, and only one loss. It's unlikely that Bragantino will lose in this match. To the 1X bet, I'm also adding the Over 1.5 Goals option. It has been successful in 22 out of 28 games involving the hosts and in 18 games with the participation of the guests this season. In their recent meetings, the Bulls and the Roosters have drawn 1-1 in three consecutive matches. Such a result would suit us, as would any victory by the favorite via Over 1.5 Goals, which Bragantino's players are more than capable of achieving on their own.
Prediction for the match: Bragantino not to lose and Over 1.5 scored goals.
