RB Bragantino vs São Paulo Prediction: Bragantino is still looking solid

RB Bragantino vs São Paulo: Prediction and odds on the Brasileirão match on July 17, 2025

Bragantino and São Paulo will meet in one of the most exciting fixtures of Round 14. Bragantino beat Corinthians away and remains in third place, just one point behind Flamengo and Cruzeiro, first and second, respectively. São Paulo lost in the last round precisely against the leader and moved closer to the relegation zone.

RB Bragantino: Form and statistics

Although Corinthians isn't performing very well, it's always difficult for a visiting team to win at the Neo Química Arena. The game was very tight, but Bragantino emerged as the winner with a last-minute goal. Red Bull opened the scoring through Sasha's penalty in the 31st minute. With Cleiton unavailable, goalkeeper Lucão took charge of the Bragantino goal and saved his team on several occasions. Fernando Seabra's team was more effective and went into the break in the lead. Corinthians equalized in the 52nd minute through Cacá and continued to search for the winning goal. The Massa Bruta suffered but withstood Corinthians' pressure, scoring the fatal blow in the 97th minute through Thiago Borbas. It was a very tough victory, and maybe the Timão didn't deserve to lose, but the Bragantino players proved to be psychologically strong. The Bragança Paulista team is very confident and will welcome São Paulo with an eye on victory.

RB Bragantino: Lineup

Hurtado is back after serving a suspension. Isidro Pitta and Thiago Borbas, both forwards, are suspended after receiving their third yellow cards. Goalkeeper Cleiton missed the last game due to a viral illness, but is now available. Lucão was elected man of the match against Corinthians, so Seabra will have a tough decision to make.

🔖RB Bragantino starting lineup (4-2-3-1)

Cleiton – Hurtado, Pedro Henrique, Guzmán Rodríguez, Juninho Capixaba – Eric Ramires, Gabriel – Lucas Barbosa, John John, Vinicinho – Sasha

⛔️Out: Fernando, Fabrício, Matheus Fernandes (injured), Pitta, Borbas (suspended)

👤Head Coach: Fernando Seabra

São Paulo: Form and statistics

The Tricolor lost 2-0 to Flamengo at the Maracanã and suffered its fourth consecutive defeat in the league. It wasn't the best start for Argentinian coach Hernán Crespo, but the task was very complicated. Flamengo is currently the major contender for the title, and the São Paulo team is at a lower level. The Cariocas could have won by a much wider margin, but Rafael, the São Paulo goalkeeper, was brilliant. Flamengo shot 22 times and hit the target 10 times. Crespo's men shot 10 times, and none hit the goal. São Paulo is in 15th place with 12 points, one point above the relegation zone. The first team in the Z4 is Juventude, which has 11 points and a game in hand, meaning São Paulo needs to win urgently.

São Paulo: Lineup

Luciano is available to play after his suspension and should be in the starting eleven.

🔖São Paulo starting lineup (3-5-2)

Rafael – Ferraresi, Arboleda, Alan Franco – Cédric, Alisson, Marcos Antônio, Oscar, Enzo Díaz – Luciano, André Silva

⛔️Out: Lucas Moura, Calleri, Luiz Gustavo (injured)

👤Head Coach: Hernán Crespo

RB Bragantino vs São Paulo match prediction 17 July 2025

Bragantino is in third place and very confident following the away victory against Corinthians. Fernando Seabra has built a team that plays to win in any stadium, and so the ambition to beat São Paulo at home is legitimate. Hernán Crespo didn't have a happy debut as São Paulo coach, losing 2-0 to Flamengo at the Maracanã. The Tricolor is likely to be more competitive in this game. Pitta and Borbas are suspended, and so Bragantino is limited in attack. In any case, I'm betting on a Double Chance in favor of RB Bragantino with a maximum of three goals scored.
