Athletico PR vs. Bragantino (Saturday, 8.30pm)
Athletico Paranaense will be looking to consolidate their position in the top three of the Brasileiro Serie A when they welcome Bragantino to the Arena da Baixada on Saturday.
The hosts are unbeaten in each of their last eight matches on home soil, while the visitors have failed to win any of their last five games on the road.
We say: Athletico Paranaense 2-1 Bragantino
Although Bragantino are beginning to turn their fortunes around, Athletico Paranaense are enjoying an impressive run of form of their own and will be considered as the favourites for Saturday's contest.
Goals are to be expected at the Arena da Baixada, but we can see the hosts securing all three points to keep them in touch with the top two.

Flamengo vs. America Mineiro (Saturday, 11.00pm)
Two Brasileiro Serie A sides struggling for form will lock horns at the Maracana Stadium on Saturday, as Flamengo play host to America Mineiro.
The two teams are currently level on points in the bottom half of the table, with the hosts in 14th sitting just two places above the visitors in 16th.
We say: Flamengo 3-1 America Mineiro
America Mineiro have struggled in front of goal over the past few weeks, but they may have more joy in the final third on Saturday against an out-of-sorts Flamengo outfit.
Nevertheless, the hosts have fared better on home soil, winning five of their last six games at the Maracana, and we expect them to come away with all three points.

Corinthians vs. Santos (Saturday, 11.00pm)
Just three days after cruising to a 4-0 victory over Santos in the Copa do Brasil, Corinthians welcome them back to Sao Paulo for their Brasileiro Serie A clash on Saturday.
The hosts will be looking to claim their fourth successive victory on home soil, while the visitors have only won one of their last five matches on the road.
We say: Corinthians 2-0 Santos
Corinthians will be regarded as the firm favourites to come out on top this weekend, considering their recent home form and comfortable win over Santos in midweek.
The visitors will be seeking revenge at the Neo Quimica Arena, but we can see the hosts enjoying more success on home soil, with a victory edging them closer to the summit.

Atletico Mineiro vs. Fortaleza (Sunday, 1.00am)
Reigning Brasileiro Serie A champions Atletico Mineiro will be looking to close in on the summit when they welcome Fortaleza to Mineirao on Saturday.
The hosts have won three and drawn one of their last four matches on home soil, while the visitors have won three of their last four games on the road.
We say: Atletico Mineiro 2-1 Fortaleza
While Atletico Mineiro will be considered as favourites for Saturday's contest, an upturn in form for Fortaleza suggests that a closely-fought encounter could be on the cards.
Nevertheless, the hosts should have enough quality in their side, particularly in the final third, to come away with all three points in Belo Horizonte.
