Analysis

Sousa is coming into this match not playing in poor form in their recent matches. They do not have a loss in their last 10 straight matches, collecting 5 wins in that span. Their defense has been very good recently as well as they have allowed just 1 goal in their last 4 matches. When playing at home, they have been in much better form as they have won 3 of their last 6 matches there with no losses in that span as well as winning 6 of their last 10 matches there. Sousa has also been very good in this competition this season as they won both of their matches so far, winning 1-0 and 2-0 at home, and they even beat Cruzeiro in one of those matches as well. They are going up against a RB Bragantino side that has been in much better form since the Brasileirao started, but they still have not been great away from home. They also have extra matches to worry about as they are playing in this competition, the domestic league, and Copa Sudamericana so this competition is of the least importance out of those 3. When playing away from home, they have actually lost 4 of their last 6 matches with no wins in that span. Their defense has been awful in those as they have allowed at least 2 goals in 3 of their last 4 as well as 4 of their last 6 matches, and their attack has been much weaker as they have been averaging under 1 goal scored per match in that span as well. RB Bragantino has not played in the earlier rounds of this competition either so this is their 1st match of the Copa do Brasil and they will likely not be very focused with a league match coming up on the weekend as well as a Copa Sudamericana match next midweek. They do not need to push in this match either as they still have the 2nd leg at home weeks from now so if they find a way to win this match, it will not be by more than a goal. Sousa will win this match at home or at least draw, take Sousa +1 here. Copa do Brasil: Sousa +1, Rot. 212226
