Team News: Red Bull Bragantino
Douglas Mendes (Hamstring injury), Henry Mosquera (Hamstring injury), Fernando (Tendonitis), Lucão (ankle sprain) and Agustín Sant'Anna (Hamstring injury) won’t be playing for Red Bull Bragantino boss Fernardo Seabra.
In all likelihood, Leão da Zona should line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation for this one and select Cleiton, Jose Andres Hurtado, Eduardo Santos, Guzman Rodriguez, Guilherme Lopes, Eric Ramires, Gabriel, Lucas Barbosa, Jhon Jhon, Vinicinho and Thiago Borbas.

Team News: Bahia
Bahia manager Rogério Ceni has to contend with a number of unavailable players. André Dhominique (Cruciate ligament injury), Rezende (Lumbar vertebra problems), Erick (Hamstring injury) and Kanu (Muscle injury) are those who can’t be considered.
We reckon that Tricolor de Aço seem likely to make use of a 4-3-3 formation by sending out Marcos Felipe, Gilberto, David Duarte, Santi Ramos Mingo, Luciano Juba, Everton Ribeiro, Caio Alexandre, Jean Lucas, Ademir Santos, Willian José and Erick Pulga.

Prediction
Our feeling is that Bahia must be fancied to break down this Red Bull Bragantino team, although it may not quite be enough to prevent defeat.
We are anticipating both teams to score in a 2-1 winning margin for Red Bull Bragantino after 90 minutes. Could easily see this go either way.
