Red Bull Bragantino will welcome Flamengo to Estadio Cicero de Souza Marques in the Brazilian Serie A on Wednesday. The two teams are separated by just three points in the league table, with the second-placed visitors having 30 points, despite playing one fewer game than the third-placed Bragantino.
