RB Bragantino v Vitória: Sudamericana rivals target lift | OneFootball

RB Bragantino host Vitória in the Brasileirão on Sunday, 17 May 2026 at Estádio Cicero de Souza Marques, with both sides in the top half and looking to firm up their continental push.

RB Bragantino beat Vitória 4-0 in December 2025 and now sit seventh and 10th respectively on 20 and 19 points in a tight top half.

Braga have lost three of their last five in all competitions but did win 6-0 at Blooming and 2-1 at Chapecoense. Leão da Barra are unbeaten in five, including a 4-1 home win over Coritiba and a 2-2 draw at Fluminense.

Massa Bruta are without Matheus Fernandes, Eduardo Santos, Fabrício, Guzmán Rodríguez, Fabinho and Davi Gomes, while Alix is suspended. Nêgo are missing suspended pair Renato Kayzer and Ramon, with Pedro Henrique, Camatunga, Edu, Dudu, Ismael, Mateus Silva and Anderson Pato injured.

Massa Bruta have scored 11 and conceded eight at home this league season, while Nêgo's away return is three points from seven trips with 17 conceded. The hosts could look to target that away defence, though the visitors' recent scoring suggests they may carry a counter threat.

A win would take Braga to 23 points and could push them closer to the Libertadores places, while defeat may keep them in the crowded mid-table. Nêgo would rise to 22 with victory and could climb the standings while reinforcing their Sudamericana ambitions.
