Bragantino take on the visitors Atletico Goianiense in the round 14 match of Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played on Thursday, July 4th at Estádio Nabi Abi Chedid (Bragança Paulista).
The "Bulls" lack any form of consistency, alternating between successful and unsuccessful matches. However, there's one trend in matches involving the Red Bull representatives that has been almost constantly present this season: the team is good in attack but concedes a lot of goals. Bragantino has kept a clean sheet only twice in 13 rounds. Even after their most recent clean sheet, the "Bulls" have played six Série A matches, in which they have consistently exchanged goals with their opponents: wins over Juventude (2-1) and Vitória Bahia (2-1), losses to Atlético Mineiro (1-2), Palmeiras (1-2), and Botafogo (1-2), and a draw with Cuiabá (1-1).

Atlético-GO had a terrible start to the current season, earning just one point in five rounds with a draw against Internacional (1-1). However, the "Red and Blacks" have improved since then, losing only twice in their next eight championship matches. But what is important for our prediction is that they have almost consistently started scoring goals. Regardless of the results, the "Dragon" has scored in five of their last six Série A matches: a win over Fluminense (2-1), losses to Criciúma (1-2), and draws with Corinthians (2-2), Grêmio (1-1), and Atlético Mineiro (1-1). I consider the probability of a goal from the "Red and Blacks" in Bragantino's net in the upcoming round to be quite high.
In this match, bookmakers see the "Bulls" as the favorites, albeit not overwhelmingly. I won't argue with that. However, I do have some doubts about a home win. Atlético-GO has recently proven to be a very resilient team. On the other hand, Bragantino can't be said to be winning frequently this season. Even when they do win, they usually concede at least one goal. The "Bulls" defense leaves much to be desired. The "Dragon" has been quite good in attack lately and, with few exceptions, consistently scores goals. In their last head-to-head match, Atlético even came out on top against the Red Bull representatives (2-1). I will take a risk and bet on a goal from the visitors in this match.
Prediction for the match: Atletico Goianiense to score – yes.
