Atlético Mineiro vs RB Bragantino Prediction: Bragantino is losing momentum

Atlético Mineiro vs RB Bragantino: Prediction and odds on the Brasileirão match on August 04, 2025

Atlético Mineiro hosts Bragantino in a Round 18 match that should be a close one. The Rooster is in 13th place, while Bragantino has dropped to fifth place. Both teams have lost in the last three rounds.

Atlético Mineiro: Form and statistics

Atlético played Flamengo twice in a row at the Maracanã within a few days. The Miners lost 1-0 in the league match and won 1-0 in the first leg of the Copa do Brasil Round of 16. Flamengo is currently the strongest side in South America, so Cuca's team performed well in both fixtures. Flamengo's winning goal in the league game came in the 75th minute from Léo Ortiz following a corner. In midweek, Atlético was solid in defense again and managed to score a goal through Tomás Cuello, who took advantage of a poor pass from Léo Pereira. It was the first time Atlético got a victory at the Maracanã in a Copa do Brasil game. The result puts the Belo Horizonte team in a favorable position for the second leg, which will take place next week. Cuca will likely prioritize that clash with Flamengo and may rest some players against Bragantino.

Atlético Mineiro: Lineup

Cuca will probably rest some key players due to the important games that Atlético has ahead. A few days after the match against Bragantino, the Miners will fight for qualification for the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil against Flamengo. The lineup below, without Hulk, is only a prediction, as there are no certainties.

🔖Atlético Mineiro starting lineup (4-3-3)

Everson – Natanael, Igor Rabello, Lyanco, Caio Paulista – Fausto Vera, Igor Gomes, Alexsander – Júnior Santos, Biel, Rony

⛔️Out: Arana, Cadu, Patrick (injured), Dudu (suspended)

👤Head Coach: Cuca

RB Bragantino: Form and statistics

The Massa Bruta is going through the worst period of the season and urgently needs a good result to break out of its negative cycle. Last week, Bragantino lost twice, once in the league and again in the Copa do Brasil. Fernando Seabra's men have four straight defeats, three of them in the Série A. In the previous round, Red Bull lost 3-1 to Fortaleza in a match where the team played poorly in defense, which is unusual. The Bragança Paulista club is now in fifth place with 27 points, nine behind Flamengo. In midweek, Bragantino lost 2-0 to Botafogo in Rio de Janeiro in the first leg of the Copa do Brasil Round of 16. Qualifying for the quarterfinals will not be easy. The player's confidence has dropped, and the next game against Atlético Mineiro will be complicated.

RB Bragantino: Lineup

Fernando Seabra will have a tough time picking his lineup. Several key players are out, like Capixaba, Gúzman, and especially Jhon Jhon. The attacking midfielder, who's been Bragantino's best player this season, is suspended after getting his third yellow card.

🔖RB Bragantino starting lineup (4-3-3)

Cleiton – Hurtado, Pedro Henrique, Gustavo Marques, Sant’Anna – Eric Ramires, Gabriel, Praxedes – Lucas Barbosa, Sasha, Pitta

⛔️Out: Guzmán Rodríguez, Mosquera, Juninho Capixaba, Fernando, Fabrício, Matheus Fernandes, Eduardo, Guilherme (injured), Jhon Jhon (suspended)

👤Head Coach: Fernando Seabra

Atlético Mineiro vs RB Bragantino match prediction 04 August 2025

Atlético is theoretically the favorite, mainly due to its fantastic away victory against Flamengo in the cup, a result that gives the team massive confidence. However, the second game against the Cariocas will be played in the middle of next week, so Cuca is unlikely to field his best team against Red Bull. Bragantino will also have to do without Jhon Jhon, its best player, but if the Rooster plays without Hulk, the teams should be evenly matched. I'm going to bet on a game with no more than two goals.
