The Brasileiro Serie A continues this weekend and will see America Mineiro host Red Bull Bragantino at the Arena Independencia on Sunday in the 17th matchday of the Brazilian top-flight.

America Mineiro are in poor form in the league at the moment and currently sit dangerously close to the drop zone. They were beaten 1-0 by Internacional in their last league outing and had looked set to come away with a point before a late goal from their opponents shattered their hopes.

The hosts have picked up just 18 points from 16 games and sit 15th in the Brasileiro Serie A standings. They are level on points with Ceara in the top relegation spot and will be looking to pull clear with a win on Sunday.

Red Bull Bragantino are not in much better form than their opponents, only just returning to winning ways last weekend with a 4-0 win over Avai. They started the game on the front foot, allowing their opponents to have the bulk of the possession before countering with precision, with four different players getting on the scoresheet in the final 20 minutes of the game.

The Massa Bruta sit 11th in the league table with 21 points from 16 games. They will now be looking to build on their latest result when they play this weekend.
