Player to watch – Thiago Borbas

Young Uruguayan striker Thiago Borbas has enjoyed a productive couple of weeks for RB Bragantino and he added to his recent goal against Cruzeiro in Serie A with another effort in midweek against Barcelona (ECU) in the Copa Sudamericana.

Borbas is building his confidence

Borbas has been playing with more self-belief of late and his goal against Ecuadorian outfit Barcelona in midweek would have sent his confidence skyrocketing. The 22-year-old should be given another chance to shine on Sunday, so don’t be surprised if he makes another defining impact.
