The current affairs of both teams ahead of the third matchday of Serie A: 

The local team of Bragantino will come to this duel with extra motivation due to their recent victory against their opponent this past weekend. They were able to fight until the end of the second leg thanks to the goals scored by Jan Hurtado, who entered late but revolutionized the match with the hopes of qualifying to the next round. The meeting will be at the same venue, but Bragantino is determined, not wanting to lose their unbeaten record, keeping them at the top of the standings. 

On the other hand, Fluminense has never even been able to score playing as visitors against Bragantino, Fred, a veteran and once a benchmark in the Brazilian national team’s attack, will have to be at his best again, together with Abel Hernandez, to take advantage of the good opportunities Ganso should create in the middle of the field to defeat Red Bull Bragantino.
