Bragantino and Fluminense are separated by 10 places in the Brasileiro table heading into Sunday's gameweek 20 encounter at Estadio Nabi Abi Chedid.
The away side are seemingly picking up form after a wretched start to the campaign, and they aim to continue their ongoing encouraging sequence of results against their top-half hosts.
We say: Bragantino 1-1 Fluminense
While Fluminense are seemingly resurgent, facing Bragantino at Nabizao should pose a different challenge to the away side. We are backing the visitors' undefeated road run to continue but a third straight win may not materialise.

With Palmeiras wobbling, second-placed Flamengo seek to keep the pressure on table-topping Botafogo when they host bottom Atletico Goianiense in Sunday's gameweek 20 Brasileiro match at the Maracana.
Tite's men closed the gap to three points after Fogo's draw last time out, and they could end the weekend top of the table if they notch maximum points and the side atop the standings are beaten.
We say: Flamengo 3-1 Atletico Goianiense
Despite wobbling in recent home games, Flamengo should make light work of an opponent that may struggle with their absences this weekend. We are backing Tite's team to take advantage of the away side's three-game losing road run and 10-match winless sequence to record a seventh home victory.

Gremio seek to leave the Brasileiro relegation zone on Sunday when they host Vasco da Gama in a round 20 clash at Arena Conda.
Renato Gaucho's men have avoided losing in consecutive games and hope to make that three without defeat against an opponent still reeling from losing its first league match in six.
We say: Gremio 1-1 Vasco da Gama
Last year's runners-up have had a dispiriting season but Gaucho's side have found some form on their turf lately, and that should stand the hosts in good stead this weekend when they host a team that could fall back into old habits after losing to Mineiro last weekend.
The spoils could be shared with neither side taking significant risks.

Atletico Mineiro will be seeking to pick up consecutive league victories when they welcome Corinthians to the MRV Arena on Sunday.
Corinthians, meanwhile, make the journey this weekend unbeaten in three matches, although they did have to settle for a share of the spoils last time out.
We say: Atletico Mineiro 2-1 Corinthians
Both teams have fared similarly at the defensive end of the pitch but Atletico Mineiro have had the upper hand going forward and we fancy them to come out on top in what should be a keenly-contested affair.

Round 20 of the 2024 Brasileiro season sees Cuiaba entertain the challenge of Athletico Paranaense at Arena Pantanal on Sunday.
The teams head into this one having recorded contrasting results last time out but we expect both of them to be fully up for this weekend's clash nonetheless.
We say: Cuiaba 1-0 Athletico Paranaense
With two of the Brasileiro's lowest-scoring teams going head to head, we are anticipating a nervy and cagey affair. However, we can also see the hosts just about edging out their visitors to claim maximum points in the end.
