Barcelona SC vs Red Bull Bragantino Prediction: At least one team will score over 1.5 goals

Barcelona SC and Red Bull Bragantino will square off at the Estadio Monumental Isidro Romero Carbo on Thursday for the first leg of their round of 16 encounter. Barcelona finished third in Group B of the Copa Libertadores while RB Bragantino secured a hard-fought qualification to the round of 16 as they finished second placed in Group H of the Copa Sudamericana. We envisage a tough encounter here between both teams. Please see the carefully prepared tips for you. 

Barcelona is in great form in their domestic league as they are currently in second place in the league with just 4 points behind league leaders Independiente del Valle. They struggled in Group B of the Copa Libertadores as they failed to qualify for the knockout round and only managed to qualify for the knockout round of the Copa Sudamericana privy to their third-place finish. They’ll now take on RB Bragantino at home on Thursday with hopes of a positive outcome. 

Bragantino have only won a game in their last five league games with three losses and a draw. Bragantino finished second-placed in Group H with just two points behind Group H leaders Racing. They have also suffered two consecutive defeats in their last two games and will aim for a positive outcome as they take on Barcelona SC on Thursday. 

Barcelona SC has lost just a game in their last 5 games with four consecutive victories in between. Bragantino on the other hand is in great form in their domestic league as they are currently in second place but we expect a different dynamic to this game. We believe game results could go either way and our first prediction here is a minimum of two goals from either team.
