Red Bull Bragantino and Santos are set to face off on Monday, November 2, at the Cícero de Souza Marques stadium in Bragança Paulista. The match, scheduled for 8:00 PM Brasilia time, serves as a key fixture in the 34th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A.
Bragantino enters the contest riding high after a convincing 3-0 victory over Chapecoense at home. Currently sitting in ninth place with 47 points, the team known as Massa Bruta aims to leverage their home advantage once again to secure three more points and close the gap on the Libertadores qualification zone.
Conversely, Santos is looking to regain momentum in the competition. The Peixe has managed only one win in their last five rounds, and recent draws against Bahia and Palmeiras have widened their distance from the top five positions.
The starting lineup for RB Bragantino features Volpi in goal; Ryan, Guzmán Rodríguez, Gustavo Marques, and Juninho Capixaba in defense; Fabinho, Eric Ramires, and Lucas Barbosa in midfield; with Wallace Yan, Mosquera, and Eduardo Sasha leading the attack. Vagner Mancini is the head coach.
Santos will field Diógenes as goalkeeper; Rodinei, João Alencar, Luan Peres, and Barreal at the back; Gustavo Henrique and Christian Oliva in midfield; Gabriel Bontempo, Philippe Coutinho, and Everton Cebolinha supporting Gabriel Barbosa up front. Cuca manages the squad.
