RB Bragantino vs Corinthians Match Analysis & Prediction
14/08/2024 3:30 am
Brazilian outfits Red Bull Bragantino and Corinthians will meet at Estadio Santa Cruz on Wednesday in the first leg of their Copa Sudamericana round-of-16 tie.
Bragantino kicked off their Copa Sudamericana campaign with a victory over Coquimbo Unido on April 4, before a 3-0 defeat to Racing Club in the subsequent game sent them crashing back down to earth.
However, Pdero Caixinha’s side rallied in their final four matches, picking up 10 points from a possible 12 to finish second in their group, but they still needed a playoff to secure their spot in the knockout round.
They saw off the threat of Ecuadorian side Barcelona SC over two legs to make it through to the last 16 through a 3-2 victory on home turf, which secured a 4-3 aggregate win off the back of a 1-1 draw in the first leg.
O Massa Bruta now continue their quest for a first-ever continental title after coming closest to breaking the duck in the 2021 Copa Sudamericana, only to suffer a heartbreaking final defeat.
Having eliminated Brazilian opponents in their last two appearances at this competition – America Mineiro in 2023 and Athletico Paranaense in 2021 – Bragatino will be keen to avoid losing out to familiar rivals once again.
Meanwhile, Corinthians had to make do with a point from their opening Copa Sudamericana tie against Racing de Montevideo as the teams played out a 1-1 draw at Estadio Centenario on April 3.
A comprehensive 4-0 victory over Nacional in their second game set the tone for the rest of the group stages for Ramon Diaz’s side, who went on to finish top of Group F, automatically securing a spot in the round of 16.
Since their solitary title in the 2012 Copa Libertadores, Corinthians have not fared well in CONMEBOL tournament, with last year’s semi-final run in the Copa Sudamericana their best showing in that time.

Brazilian duo Juninho Capixaba and Nathan Camargo are both out of contention for Bragantino, with neither of them closing in on a return to full fitness.
Forward Helinho has found the back of the net in two of his last three appearances for the hosts and is on course to retain his starting berth.

Corinthians Team News
Yuri Alberto, who has scored five Sudamericana goals this season, is a major doubt for Corinthians after missing the last three games through an injury he sustained against Gremio earlier this month.
While Alberto’s availability is hanging in the balance, Diego Palacios and Ruan Oliveira are guaranteed absentees, but the former is not far off making a return.
