Red Bull and Atlético face off in the center of the standings in the opening match of Round 37 of the Brazilian Championship
In the opening game of the 37th round of the Brazilian Championship, Red Bull Bragantino and Atlético Mineiro will face off this Sunday (16th) at 7:00 pm (Brasilia time) at the Cicero de Sousa Marques Stadium. The match was moved up as Gallo were preparing for next Saturday’s (22nd) Copa Sudamericana final against Lanús in Paragauai.
But despite the focus on the continental decision, the match is also important for both teams in the Brazilian championship. After all, there is only a two-point difference between Red Bull and Atlético. Gallo is ninth with 44 and Massa Bruta is 11th with 42.

The match between Red Bull Bragantino and Atlético will be broadcast on Premier.
How Red Bull Bragantino was born
The arrival of Wagner Mancini was a turning point for Red Bull after a bad run in the Brazilian Championship left them mired in a relegation battle. Under the new manager, Massa Bruta have won two games in a row and are already dreaming of being on the first page of the league table. To maintain their momentum, Red Bull are counting on the return of left-back Juninho Capixaba and striker Eduardo Sasha, both of whom are returning from suspension. However, they also have to deal with the suspended Pedro Enrique and Vanderlaan.
Atlético’s achievements
Atlético will be looking to regain confidence ahead of next Saturday’s Copa Sudamericana final after a disappointing draw with Fortaleza at the Arena MRV after leading 3-1. Furthermore, they are looking to close the distance to the G7 as they continue to fight for a spot in the next Copa Libertadores after the Brazilian Championship.
This means Sampaoli will still be without Junior Alonso, Ivan Romon and Alan Franco for this Sunday’s game. However, even though the South American finals are near, coach Sampaoli must leave only physically exhausted players and give their best on the field.
