Bragantino will be bidding to make it three straight victories in the Brasileiro when they continue their league campaign away to Corinthians on Sunday.
The visitors are currently seventh in the table, boasting 20 points from their opening 12 matches of the campaign, while Corinthians sit 15th in the division on 12 points.
We say: Corinthians 1-1 Bragantino
Bragantino will enter this match in excellent form, but Corinthians are yet to lose at home in the Brasileiro this season, while Bragantino are yet to triumph on their travels. As a result, we have had to settle on a low-scoring draw, which would not be the worst result for either side.

Botafogo will be aiming to make it four straight victories in the Brasileiro when they continue their campaign at home to Vasco da Gama on Sunday.
The hosts have made an excellent start to the campaign, sitting top of the division on 30 points, while Vasco de Gama occupy 18th, having only picked up nine points from their first 12 matches.
We say: Botafogo 2-0 Vasco da Gama
Vasco da Gama will be feeling a lot better about themselves following the 1-0 win over Cuiaba, but this is a different test entirely, and we are finding it very difficult to predict anything other than a comfortable home success on Sunday.

After sealing their place in the knockout phase of the Copa Libertadores in midweek, Atletico Mineiro return to Campeonato Brasileiro duty on Sunday, when they meet local rivals America Mineiro at Mineirao.
The two Belo Horizonte clubs are separated by 11 points and nine places in the Serie A standings, with Atletico pushing for a top-six place and America languishing down in the drop zone.
We say: Atletico Mineiro 2-0 America Mineiro
America have already conceded at least two goals on 10 separate occasions this season, so faced with an Atletico attack led by veteran striker Hulk, they are unlikely to keep a clean sheet at Mineirao. That should lead to three wins from three for Galo in the derby this year.

After both teams topped their Copa Libertadores groups in midweek, Athletico Paranaense and Sao Paulo giants Palmeiras clash in the Campeonato Brasileiro on Sunday.
Athletico welcome last year's champions to Arena da Baixada trailing two points and five places behind in the Serie A standings, so victory would see them leapfrog their illustrious visitors.
We say: Athletico Paranaense 1-2 Palmeiras
While Athletico have lost just once at home in the Brasileiro this year and are enjoying a fresh start under new management, it is surely unthinkable that Palmeiras could lose three straight games in the league. Indeed, the free-scoring visitors blazed their way into the Copa Libertadores knockout phase this week and could now turn the corner domestically with another win.

Cuiaba vs. Santos (Sunday, 10.30pm)

Two teams sitting just about the Brasileiro relegation zone will meet on Sunday when Cuiaba host Santos in their latest league match.
Both teams failed to pick up a victory in their most recent outings, therefore this weekend will act as a perfect opportunity to immediately get themselves back on track.
We say: Cuiaba 0-0 Santos
Neither team heads into this match with much confidence, particularly in front of goal, and that is something that could be lead to a goalless draw taking place on Sunday.
