RB Bragantino vs Cruzeiro Prediction: Bragantino desperately needs a victory

Bragantino and Cruzeiro will meet at the Nabizão in a crucial game for the home team. Red Bull is in the relegation zone, two points below the red line, and needs a win, something it hasn't got for 11 rounds. The second half of the season has been disastrous for the Bragança Paulista club, which is in a dramatic situation.

The Massa Bruta traveled to Porto Alegre to face Internacional, a team in superb form. The Gaúchos gave Bragantino no chance and won 4-1. The home side scored after 5 minutes through a penalty, but in the 20th minute, Juninho Capixaba leveled the score, giving Red Bull some hope. However, Inter made it 2-1 eight minutes later and retook the lead. In the second half, the visitors had to react but failed to get a shot on target. Internacional scored two more goals in the final minutes to make it 4-1. Fernando Seabra's men will give everything against Cruzeiro, and a win could restore the confidence they have been lacking. In the final two rounds of the league, Bragantino will face Athletico-PR and Criciúma, two direct opponents in the relegation battle.

The Fox keeps disappointing its fans and failed again to win at home, drawing 1-1 against Grêmio. Cruzeiro has only won one league match under Fernando Diniz, who is not having an easy time in Belo Horizonte. The Miners are in seventh place with 48 points, in a position to qualify for the Copa Libertadores, but Bahia and Corinthians are just one point behind. In Round 37, Cruzeiro will host Palmeiras, a title contender, so Diniz's men need a good result against Bragantino.

It's a decisive game for the home team, which, if it doesn't win, will find it hard to avoid relegation. With three rounds of the Brasileirão left, Bragantino is two points below Fluminense, the first team out of the Z4, in 16th place. Cruzeiro is battling for a place in the Copa Libertadores but is going through a period of low confidence. I'm betting on a Double Chance in favor of Bragantino, with a maximum of three goals scored in the match.
