Palmeiras vs. Cuiaba (Sunday, 3.00pm)
Palmeiras will try to close the gap at the top of the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A when they host Cuiaba at Allianz Parque on Sunday.
Verdao are four points back of Atletico Mineiro for first place after losing to them 2-0 in their last league fixture, while Cuiaba are clinging to the final place in Serie A following their 1-0 defeat to Gremio on Wednesday.
We say: Palmeiras 3-0 Cuiaba
Palmeiras are a much better team than they have shown in the league over the past couple of games, and they will be eager to show that their recent setbacks are only temporary.
Cuiaba have been a tough defensive side this season, but they have not played in an environment quite like Allianz Parque, which can be overwhelming when you set foot on that field for the first time.

Ceara vs. Flamengo (Sunday, 8.00pm)
High-flying Flamengo will be looking to close the gap on Brasileiro leaders Atletico Mineiro by claiming all three points away at Ceara on Sunday.
The last six meetings between the two sides have seen them win three games each, with the Black and Whites coming out on top in the last two encounters.
We say: Ceara 1-2 Flamengo
Throughout this campaign, Ceara have made themselves difficult to beat, drawing eight times and keeping seven clean sheets, the joint-second most in the Brasileiro.
The Black and Whites could frustrate Flamengo on Sunday, as they did in their previous two encounters with the Scarlet-Black, however we expect the attacking quality of Barbosa and co to break through a robust Ceara backline to secure a narrow away victory for the reigning champions.

Athletico PR vs. Corinthians (Sunday, 8.00pm)
Two Brasileiro sides struggling for form lock horns on Sunday evening, as Athletico Paranaense welcome Corinthians to the Arena da Baixada.
The hosts have won just one of their last seven league games, while the visitors have failed to win seven of their previous 10 matches.
We say: Athletico Paranaense 1-1 Corinthians
Both Paranaense and Corinthians will be keen to put together a good run of form as they push for Copa Libertadores or Copa Sudamericana qualification. However, with little to separate these two sides, a score draw could be on cards at the Arena da Baixada.

Santos vs. Internacional (Sunday, 10.15pm)
Two sides who are even in virtually every category in the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A will face off this weekend when Santos host Internacional from Estadio Urbano Caldeira on Sunday.
Santastico were eliminated from the Copa Sudamericana on away goals on Thursday, while Internacional have won back-to-back league fixtures and are unbeaten in their last three Serie A matches.
We say: Santos 0-0 Internacional
There is very little difference between these sides, as they have each scored as many goals as they have conceded, with Colorado notching three more than Santos (20-17). Furthermore, they are even on points and have split the season series in the Brasileiro over the past two campaigns, with each team winning their home fixture last year, and we saw two 0-0 draws in 2019.

Sport vs. Sao Paulo (Monday, 12.30am)
Sao Paulo will be seeking their third successive Brasileiro victory when they travel to Sport Recife on Monday.
The hosts, meanwhile, are hoping for an upturn in form on home soil, after claiming just one win from their six league games at the Estadio Ilha do Retiro so far this campaign.
We say: Sport Recife 0-1 Sao Paulo
As strong as they have been defensively, Sport Recife desperately need to find their form in front of goal if they are to have any chance of claiming all three points.
The hosts have struggled in recent years against Sao Paulo and we feel that they may suffer another narrow defeat on Monday.
