Seeking to pick up a fourth win on the bounce, Flamengo take a trip to the Estadio Aderbal Ramos da Silva to square off against Avai on Sunday.
The Leao da Ilha, meanwhile, will head into the weekend seeking to get one over the visitors, having failed to win their last five meetings since 2015.
We say: Avai 0-2 Flamengo
Avai face the stern test of taking on a rampant Flamengo side who are currently in red-hot form. The Rubro-Negro have won seven of their last eight games in all competitions and we are backing them to extend their dominance over the hosts.

Bragantino will be aiming to pick up a fourth victory on the trot for the first time since June 2021 when they visit the Estadio Municipal General Raulino de Oliveira to face Fluminense on Sunday.
The Tricolor, who are unbeaten in nine consecutive games across all competitions, will look to continue their fine run of form as they could move into second place in the Serie A standings with all three points this weekend.
We say: Fluminense 2-1 Bragantino
While Bragantino will be looking to surge into the upper echelons of the table, next up is a rampant Fluminense side who are unbeaten in each of their last nine outings across all competitions. The Tricolor have won each of their last four home games and we are back in them to see off the visitors, albeit by a slender margin.

Palmeiras will be looking to pick up a fourth consecutive victory and extend their lead at the top of the Serie A standings when they welcome Internacional to the Allianz Parque on Sunday.
The Clube do Povo, on the other hand, have failed to taste victory in each of their most recent three away games in all competitions and will be seeking to end this dry spell.
We say: Palmeiras 2-1 Internacional
While Internacional will be looking to snap their winless run on the road, they have failed to taste victory in their last nine visits to the Allianz Parque. Palmeiras head into the weekend in superb form and we are backing them to extend their fine record against the visitors and come away with all three points.

High-flying Ceara will be looking to pick up a fourth win on the bounce for the first time since March when they visit the Estadio Alfredo Jaconi to take on Juventude on Sunday.
Eduardo Baptista's side, who are currently on a nine-game losing streak, will be seeking to end this dry spell and begin their surge from the relegation zone.
We say: Juventude 1-2 Ceara
Ceara have hit their stride in recent weeks and head into the weekend as one of three teams who have won their last two games in the Serie A. Santos's men take on an out-of-sorts Juventude side who have failed to taste victory in nine consecutive outings, and we predict they will maintain their fine run of results by claiming all three points.

A crucial game in the fight at the top end of the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A table will take place on Sunday, as Atletico Mineiro entertain Corinthians.
The visitors moved back up to second place with a win over Coritiba last time out, as their visitors were held to a draw late on, while both find themselves four points off league leaders Palmeiras.
We say: Atletico Mineiro 1-1 Corinthians
With two of the league's strongest sides squaring off, we anticipate a high quality and hotly-contested affair and struggle to pick a winner, with a share of the spoils possible being the most likely outcome as both set up to avoid what would be a harmful defeat.

Two sides hoping to break out of the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A relegation zone will square off on Sunday, as Atletico Goianiense entertain America Mineiro.
Both teams will be aiming to break losing runs, with the hosts 18th after four straight defeats, while their visitors are just one point better off after three losses in a row heading into the weekend.
We say: Atletico Goianiense 1-1 America Mineiro
With so much on the line in as much of a relegation six-pointer as is possible at this stage, we expect a cagey encounter on Sunday and cannot quite pick a winner.
Both sides will be fearful of the harm a defeat would cause, while both have struggled for victories throughout the season, and we see a share of the spoils as the most likely outcome as a result.

Fortaleza vs. Santos (Sunday, 11.00pm)

After playing three consecutive away games, Fortaleza will be grateful to return to home surroundings when they face Santos in the Brasileiro on Sunday.
The visitors, meanwhile, have the chance to clinch consecutive victories after beating Botafogo in their most recent outing.
We say: Fortaleza 1-1 Santos
While Fortaleza have drawn five of their nine home games this season, Santos have seen half of their away league matches end all square, and with that in mind, we think the two sides will leave Sunday's encounter with a point apiece.
