Bragantino Hosts Fortaleza in Critical Brasileirão Clash Tonight
Bragança Paulista, SP — Red Bull Bragantino will face Fortaleza on Wednesday, November 26, at 7 p.m. local time. This match is part of the 36th round of the Brasileirão Serie A, taking place at the Estádio Cícero de Souza Marques.
The Bragantino team comes into this match looking to bounce back after a disappointing 3-0 loss to Flamengo last Saturday. With a record of 45 points, Bragantino is currently in ninth place. The team hopes to regain momentum against Fortaleza, aiming to climb back into the top positions.
On the other hand, Fortaleza is struggling in the relegation zone. The team secured a victory against Bahia in their last match, marking their sixth game without a loss, which includes two wins and four draws. With 34 points, Fortaleza sits in 18th place and needs a win to move out of the danger area.
Bragantino will welcome back defender Alix Vinícius, who missed the last game due to suspension. He is expected to partner with Pedro Henrique in defense. Additionally, Matheus Fernandes is likely to replace the injured Fabinho, who sustained a knee injury.
Fortaleza will see the return of midfielder Lucas Sasha, who could rejoin the starting lineup. However, they will be without Bruno Pacheco, who is sidelined with a fractured hand.
The match will be officiated by referee Bruno Arleu de Araújo and will be broadcast live on Premiere. Both teams recognize the importance of this encounter as they navigate through contrasting objectives in the league.
