RB Bragantino v Grêmio: top-half push meets survival fight | OneFootball

RB Bragantino host Grêmio in the Brasileirão on Sunday, 23 August 2026 at Estádio Municipal Cícero de Souza Marques, with the hosts chasing continental places and the visitors aiming to pull clear of the relegation battle.

RB Bragantino are seventh on 32 points, while Grêmio sit 15th with 25. The last league meeting between the sides ended level in March.

Braga arrive on the back of back-to-back draws across league and Sudamericana after two defeats. Imortal's recent run mixed a home win over São Paulo with a heavy loss at Atlético Mineiro, and in the league they have no wins in 11 away trips and just four points.

Massa Bruta are without Fernando, Vanderlan and Davi Gomes. Tricolor Gaúcho travel light at the back too, with Kannemann suspended and defenders Marlon and Gustavo Martins sidelined, while midfielders Mathias Villasanti and Juan Nardoni are out.

The hosts have scored 27 and kept seven clean sheets, supplying frequent crosses with 23.55% accuracy. That delivery could test a reshaped defence that has conceded 30 in the league. For the visitors, Carlos Vinícius is joint third in the scoring chart on 10, with Francis Amuzu on three assists. Braga's Isidro Pitta has five league goals.

A win would take Braga to 35 points and could strengthen their push towards the Libertadores places. Three points for Imortal would move them to 28 and may ease relegation pressure after a difficult away campaign.
