RB Bragantino vs Internacional de Limeira Prediction: Bragantino attempts to rise from the fall

RB Bragantino suffered a major disappointment this week after being knocked out of the Copa Libertadores third round by Botafogo and failing to qualify for the group stage. One of the Red Bull club's goals was undoubtedly to enter South America's most important club competition, but that won't happen this year. After this fall, RB Bragantino must pick itself up, and it has already got a Paulistão quarter-final to play against Inter de Limeira. There's no time for regrets.

The draw with Botafogo is still on the players' minds, but they need focus and concentration to face Inter de Limeira. The Paulistão is a prestigious competition where the Massa Bruta can still play an important role. Red Bull finished top of Group C with three defeats and 21 points, the worst score of all the group leaders. Even so, qualification was peaceful but lackluster. Following the Copa Libertadores elimination, a reaction from the players is required.

The Lion was second in Group C, so it plays away in the quarter-finals. The task isn't easy, but qualification isn't impossible as the opposition doesn't seem to be in its best form. Inter de Limeira has won the competition once, just like Bragantino, so the club is also part of the Paulistão history. In the last game, Internacional lost 3-2 at Santos. The result reflects the team's strengths and weaknesses. Only three teams scored more goals in the competition than Inter, but only five conceded more.

Inter de Limeira can score goals in any stadium. That's not to say it scores in every game, but it does have that ease, but it also has problems in defense. That statistic leads me to think that both teams will score. The other part of the bet will be on a Double Chance for Bragantino.
