Relegation-threatened America MG will face an uphill task against top-four contender Atletico Bragantino in the Brasileirao this week. This match at Estádio Raimundo Sampaio on Wednesday will see America MG 19th with 17 points while Bragantino are 5th with 39 points. The hosts are only three points above the bottom-placed Coritiba and are still eight points away from safety. Yet, they seem to have turned a corner over the last few games. The hosts are unbeaten in three league games, picking up seven points during this sequence. They still are the worst defensive side of the league having already conceded 47 goals, so there's a lot of work to do. At least they have seen their fortunes improve at home, having won their last two league games at this venue.

Bragantino are fifth in the standings, level on points with fourth-placed Flamengo. If things go well in this set of matches, they could go as high as third, but they could slide down to seventh as well. On that count, they would be worried about their recent form where they have been dropping points. Bragantino have won just four of their last ten league matches, drawing four and losing two. That also includes a draw and loss in their last two away league games, so the visitors will be nervous on this trip. Interestingly, this fixture in the past hasn't favored any side – two wins, draws and losses each in the six top-flight games between these sides.
