Santo André vs RB Bragantino – Preview, Prediction and Betting Tips 04/02/2024

Santo André will host the Red Bull Bragantino team this Sunday morning, in a game in which both come under pressure for a positive result.

Santo André

Santo André is part of Group A, which also includes Santos, Portuguesa and Ituano.

Santo André is looking for its first victory in the competition, it is in last place in its group with 2 points, having had 2 draws and 2 defeats so far.

It is still quite possible to seek classification, as it is only one point below Portuguesa, second placed, but its situation is very delicate, as it is last placed in the general table.

This would cause the team to drop to the second division. In fact, Santo André is the only team in the competition that has not managed to win so far.

It has had many problems, mainly offensively, it is the worst attack in the league, alongside Ituano and Água Santa, all with just one goal scored.

In the last match, after 2 draws in a row, Santo André away from home was beaten by Botafogo de Ribeirão Preto, by one to zero.

In the matches they played at home, they drew goalless against Novorizontino and also 0-0 against Água Santa.

The tendency is for a game with low lines, little possession of the ball and a reactive game, where the score will probably also be economical.

RB Bragantino

Red Bull Bragantino also comes under a lot of pressure, as there have already been 2 rounds that the team has been unable to win in the competition.

The team is part of Group C, which also includes Mirassol, Internacional de Limeira and Corinthians.

Bragantino occupies third place in its bracket, with 4 points, having had one win, one draw and 2 defeats so far.

Their only victory was away from home, when they beat Portuguesa 2-1.

After that, the team stumbled again at home, drawing with Botafogo de Ribeirão Preto in the last round and as home team they lost to Palmeiras, by one to zero.

Bragantino is known to be a very intense team, a very interesting vertical game, generally with a good offensive volume, but we have to take into account the context of this game.

Firstly, Santo André is an absolutely reactive team, they play games with very few goals and even playing at home, the tendency is to play a purely reactive game against Bragantino.

Another point is that Bragantino has not yet been able to implement its dynamic game, which is a characteristic of the team in recent seasons, and has also stumbled a lot at the beginning of the championship.

But mainly, we have to consider that the game will be at 11 am, it’s summer in Brazil and the strong heat could make the match much less dynamic than it would normally be.

Conclusion:

I believe that Bragantino is the favorite for this game, but the low odds that are presented are certainly worthless. My betting choice, therefore, will be on the line of fewer goals, understanding that this is a very strong trend for this Sunday’s clash.
