Although Red Bull Bragantino have no wins in their last six matches, Helinho has been one of the few bright spots on the team. The former Sao Paulo forward was on the scoresheet in three of his last four appearances for the club across all competitions.

Helinho has not scored in three consecutive matches since he was promoted from Sao Paulo's U-17 team in 2018. It will be interesting to see if he can achieve that feat for the first time in his career.
