RB Bragantino v Atlético Mineiro: early momentum meets Sudamericana aims | OneFootball

RB Bragantino host Atlético Mineiro in the Brasileirão on Wednesday, 4 February 2026 at Estádio Cicero de Souza Marques, with both aiming to build on opening results that place them in the Sudamericana positions.

RB Bragantino beat Atlético Mineiro 2-0 at home in their most recent league meeting in November 2025. The hosts start ninth on three points after victory at Coritiba, while the visitors are 11th with one point following a 2-2 draw against Palmeiras.

Braga's recent run mixes sturdy draws with emphatic state wins, including 3-0 over Corinthians and 5-0 against Botafogo SP either side of that league opener. Atlético-MG have also put results together across the Mineiro, capped by a 3-1 success at Pouso Alegre.

Availability could matter. Massa Bruta list forward Isidro Pitta and defenders Guzmán Rodríguez and Vanderlan as injured. For Galo, defenders Lyanco, Ángelo Preciado and Iván Román are sidelined.

With confidence from those recent scorelines, Braga could look to assert themselves at home, while Atlético-MG may lean on experienced attackers such as Hulk and Mateo Casierra to test a back line missing options. The margins may be fine given both sides' mixed scoring form of late.

A home win would move Braga to six points and could nudge them up from ninth, consolidating an early Sudamericana track before a league trip to Corinthians. Victory for Galo would take them to four points and may improve their mid-table position ahead of hosting Remo.
