Sao Paulo vs. America Mineiro (Sunday, 8.00pm)
Sao Paulo will play host to America Mineiro on Sunday in an important contest with just one point separating them in the top half of the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A table.
An eight-game unbeaten run has seen the hosts climb to sixth, leapfrogging their opponents who have dropped to ninth spot after a recent defeat.
We say: Sao Paulo 2-1 America Mineiro
While Sao Paulo have been unable to see out victories in recent weeks, they come into the game with a strong unbeaten run to build on, and we see them retuning to winning ways with home advantage against an America Mineiro side far from their best form.

Goias vs. Ceara (Sunday, 8.00pm)
Despite their positions in the bottom half of the Brasileiro, Goias and Ceara head into their meeting on Sunday on the back of strong unbeaten runs.
The hosts snatched a late equaliser at bottom-of-the-table Fortaleza in midweek, whilst the visitors continued their fine form by picking up an impressive win at America Mineiro on Wednesday.
We say: Goias 1-1 Ceara
With both of these sides grinding out positive results by narrow margins in recent weeks, it is likely to be a tight meeting between the two on Sunday.
As a result, we can see Goias and Ceara cancelling each other out to finish level, with very little between these two sides on paper, or in terms of recent excellent form too.

Coritiba vs. Palmeiras (Sunday, 10.00pm)
Palmeiras will look to strengthen their position at the top of the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A table on Sunday, when they make the trip to take on Coritiba.
A strong run of form has seen the visitors establish a lead at the summit of the division, while their hosts sit fifth having also impressed since their promotion.
We say: Coritiba 1-2 Palmeiras
Coritiba have certainly impressed since their promotion and shown themselves to be a competitive outfit, but we see them falling just short against a strong Palmeiras side who look to have hit their stride.

Fortaleza vs. Athletico PR (Sunday, 11.00pm)
Fortaleza are back in action this weekend in the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A when they host Athletico Paranaense at Arena Casteleao on Sunday.
Leao do Pici missed an opportunity to close the gap between themselves and top-flight salvation, drawing Goias 1-1 on Thursday, while El Paranaense are unbeaten in their last six matches in all competitions, currently in third, three points behind the league leaders Palmeiras.
We say: Fortaleza 1-2 Athletico Paranaense
We have seen gradual improvements at Fortaleza, but not enough to suggest they will be able to defeat a side like Athletico Paranaense, who are in fine form with several weapons contributing in midfield and the attacking third.
