In a weekend match on Sat Jul 9th, in week 16, Avaí and Bragantino will play a match in Bragança Paulista in a clash of these two closely matched Serie A teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 18 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. In their last match, 14th placed Bragantino, recorded a 0-1 loss against Botafogo. Vinicius scored the first goal for Botafogo in the 64th minute, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else In the end, Bragantino was frustrated by Botafogo’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Botafogo ended the match with the shutout victory. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 10 points in their last 10 matches, while 11th placed Avaí is fresh off their 1-2 loss against Cuiabá. Eduardo Biasi struck first for Avaí in the 30th minute, then Valdívia tied it up for Cuiabá in the 49th minute But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback in the 65th minute on a goal by J. Pereira. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 6 of their last 10.
This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season.
Guilherme Bissoli has been the most effective weapon for Avaí lately. The Brazilian attacker has netted three goals in his last 5 matches. Hyoran has been the most prolific scorer on Bragantino in the last five matches with three goals.
