Player to watch – Helinho

Right winger Helinho is enjoyed a productive campaign on the flank for RB Bragantino and he transferred his domestic form to the continent in midweek when he scored in the Copa Sudamericana against Barcelona (ECU).

Helinho in the midst of a purple patch

Helinho has scored six times in his last eight appearances in all competitions overall for RB Bragantino and the 24-year-old should be confident enough to be a threatening presence again when he returns to action in Serie A on Sunday.
