RB Bragantino vs Fluminense Prediction: Bragantino keeps losing

RB Bragantino vs Fluminense: Prediction and odds on the Brasileirão match on August 23, 2025

Bragantino suffered its sixth consecutive league defeat, a 1-0 loss to Ceará away in the last round. The Bragança Paulista team is in free fall and has now dropped to mid-table after spending several rounds in the top three.

RB Bragantino: Form and statistics

At the Arena Castelão, the Massa Bruta played a poor game once again. Bragantino conceded a goal in the 14th minute, and the Cearenses became comfortable, playing defensively as they like to do. Aylon scored the game's only goal in a play where Bragantino's defense was very passive. The Bragança Paulista team is playing without confidence, and its offensive moves were predictable, making it easy for Ceará, which is strong on defense. The home team was closer to scoring a second goal than Bragantino was to equalizing, so Ceará deserved the victory. It was Red Bull's eighth consecutive defeat, the sixth in the league. It is proving very difficult to break out of this negative cycle, and injuries to several players are not helping. Bragantino urgently needs to win, or it will end up fighting to avoid relegation, as it did last year.

RB Bragantino: Lineup

Bragantino still has many injured players. Gabriel and Lucas Barbosa are suspended after receiving their third yellow card.

Fluminense: Form and statistics

After the FIFA Club World Cup, Fluminense struggled to switch gears when the Brasileirão resumed. The Cariocas reached the semi-finals in the United States, but the Série A is a competition that requires maximum focus to succeed. There are very few consistent teams in the league, so it is common to see teams with dramatic declines, such as Bragantino, or fantastic comebacks, such as São Paulo. Now, Fluminense seems to be on the rise and beat Fortaleza 2-1 at home. Cano and Canobbio scored for the Tricolor, and Breno Lopes reduced the deficit for Fortaleza. Fluminense moved up to eighth place, with two games in hand, overtaking Bragantino in the standings. In midweek, Renato Gaúcho's men qualified for the Copa Sudamericana quarter-finals with a 2-0 win at América de Cali, with goals from Serna and Martinelli. In the first leg, Fluminense had won 2-1 in Colombia. Next week, Fluminense will face Bahia in the Copa do Brasil quarter-finals, another competition that the Cariocas are aiming to win, just like the Copa Sudamericana.

Fluminense: Lineup

Some injured players have recovered, and Renato Gaúcho now has more options. The coach is likely to make some changes ahead of the quarter-final match against Bahia in the Copa do Brasil. Martinelli is suspended after receiving his third yellow card.

🔖Fluminense starting lineup (4-3-3)

Fábio – Samuel Xavier, Manoel, Freytes, Fuentes – Bernal, Hércules, Lima – Serna, Everaldo, Canobbio

⛔️Out: Soteldo, Ignácio, Otávio (injured), Martinelli (suspended)

👤Head Coach: Renato Gaúcho

RB Bragantino vs Fluminense match prediction 23 August 2025

Bragantino has lost its last eight games, six of them in the league, so the team's confidence is extremely low. Fluminense, on the other hand, has been improving and is motivated. However, Fluminense played in Colombia in midweek and has a game against Bahia in a few days for the Copa do Brasil, so Renato Gaúcho will likely make some changes to his usual lineup to manage the fatigue of some players. I'm going to bet that both teams will score.
