Athletico Paranaense will look to break a six-game league winless run on Saturday, when they make the trip to take on America Mineiro.
The hosts have enjoyed an upturn in form after a poor start to the season, while their visitors have dropped to ninth spot in the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A table following their difficult spell.
We say: America Mineiro 1-1 Athletico Paranaense
While Athletico Paranaense have the quality to punish their hosts, Olivera's men have struggled to click recently and face a side in a much-improved run of form.
We see the newly-promoted side battling to earn another positive result, but ultimately expect the visitors to avoid defeat while failing to impress.

With both sides looking to build on growing unbeaten runs in the Brazilian top flight, Juventude and Cuiaba will meet on Saturday at the Estadio Alfredo Jaconi.
An upturn in form has seen the hosts rise to 13th place in the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A table, while their visitors sit in 11th spot with just a one-point lead.
We say: Juventude 1-1 Cuiaba
In a clash between two sides seemingly playing at their best, we do not quite see either outclassing the other, instead opting for a low-scoring draw.
Cuiaba have arguably posted more impressive results in recent weeks, but their hosts have proven themselves to be difficult to beat, and both should be relatively pleased with a draw.

Bragantino will play host to Chapecoense on Saturday, in a clash between sides at opposite ends of the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A table.
The hosts currently occupy fourth spot, while their visitors go in search of a first league win of the season at the 20th time of asking.
We say: Bragantino 3-0 Chapecoense
While Chapecoense will be desperate to find an elusive victory, we see them being brushed aside again on Saturday by a Bragantino side with their sights set on challenging for top spot.
Ventura's men have regularly failed to threaten in attack, while they face the tough task of dealing with one of the league's top-scoring sides, and we see them falling to a heavy defeat on their travels.

Santos vs. Bahia (Sunday, 1.00am)

Two sides in the bottom half of the Brasileiro Serie A table go head to head on Saturday when Santos welcome Bahia to the Estadio Urbano Caldeira.
The hosts have failed to taste victory in each of their last six outings in all competitions, while the visitors ended their run of three straight defeats last time out.
We say: Santos 2-1 Bahia
Both sides currently find themselves separated by one point and two places just outside the relegation zone after a series of unconvincing performances.
Bahia, who have struggled to get going away from home, are without a win in their last six away games in all competitions and we predict Santos will make use of their home advantage and claim a morale-boosting win.
