Gameday in Bragança for the first round of the group C between Bragantino & Nacional.

Bragantino will be without their key player Artur who is injured.

On their side Nacional will be without Felipe Carballo suspended. Zunino is injured. Brian Ocampo & Ignacio Ramirez are on the bench. Both are good players so it will affect them.

Odds on Bragantino raised recently but I don't rate it as a logical movement, maybe people who discovered that Artur was injured but it was known since a moment.

Bragantino is really a team who is improving a lot in the last years, they have great players even if they sold some players and they have a great coach, Barbieri, who is experienced, he was coach of Flamengo years ago and now he is coaching Bragantino since 2 years and he is part of the project well builded.

Despite the fact that Artur is missing they still have very strong players, in front they will cont of course on Hyoran & Ytalo who is old but really useful and important. Defensively they can count on their captain Leo Ortiz. Midfield with Helinho on the right side, Jadsom as defensive midfield, Ramires a bit in front of him & Sorriso on the left side. Usually we should see Barbieri using a 4-2-3-1 but today I expect more a 4-4-2.

For me there is an important gap between Brazilian teams & teams from Uruguay, we could see yesterday how weak was Penarol against Colon.

I expect 1-0 or 2-0.
