Cruzeiro will be hoping to leapfrog Athletico Paranaense in the Brasileiro Serie A table when the two sides meet at the Mineirao on Wednesday.

The hosts are two points and three places behind the visitors, having played a game fewer than them.

We say: Cruzeiro 1-1 Athletico Paranaense

Neither side are in their best moment heading into this fixture. The hosts have won just twice in their last five league matches while the visitors have drawn the last three. Furthermore, the last three meetings between these sides have ended in a stalemate.

Botafogo will be hoping to end their recent poor run in the Brasileiro Serie A when they host Bragantino at the Olympic Stadium on Wednesday.

The home side are winless in their last two games, while the visitors returned to winning ways last time out.

We say: Botafogo 1-0 Bragantino

Botafogo have stuttered in recent weeks, but they have held the upper hand in this fixture for a couple of years. Meanwhile, the visitors have struggled to replicate their home form away from home, and that is why we are tipping the home team to continue their dominance in this clash.

Corinthians have enjoyed the better of this fixture and will be confident of getting the job done on their own patch. We just about fancy the hosts to emerge victorious come the end of the 90 minutes.

Atletico Goianiense set out in search of their first win of the Brasileiro Serie A campaign when they take on Gremio at the Stadium Antonio Accioly on Wednesday.

The Immortal Tricolor are on a run of six back-to-back league defeats and will head into the midweek clash looking to end this dry spell and get their campaign back on track.

We say: Atletico Goianiense 2-1 Gremio

While Goianiense have struggled for consistency in recent weeks, they are favourites to claim all three points against an out-of-sorts Gremio side who have lost their last six league matches. We predict a cagey affair at the Stadium Antonio Accioly, with Gomes’s men claiming their first home win of the Serie A campaign.

Flamengo will be looking to open up a four-point lead at the top of the Brasileiro Serie A table when they take on Juventude at the Estadio Alfredo Jaconi. on Wednesday.

Boasting one of the best home records in the league this season, the Verdao will head into the midweek tie with plenty of optimism as they set out to end a three-match winless run against the visitors.

We say: Juventude 1-3 Flamengo

While Juventude have been rock-solid at home in the league, they face the stern challenge of taking on a Flamengo side who are currently firing on all cylinders. We predict the Rubro-Negro will pick up where they left off against Fluminense and come away with all three points at the Estadio Alfredo Jaconi.

Internacional will be looking to win three Serie A matches in a row for the first time this season when they host Atletico Mineiro at Estadio Beira-Rio on Thursday.

While the hosts are on a winning run, the visitors have failed to win any of their last three matches heading into this fixture.

We say: Internacional 1-0 Atletico Mineiro

Internacional have been defensively solid in recent weeks, which has helped them secure important victories. Coming up against an Atletico Mineiro side that have struggled for goals, this could be the difference. We are backing the hosts to nick this one at the end.

Palmeiras can complete a perfect month in the Brasileiro Serie A with a victory over Fortaleza on Wednesday at Arena Castelao.

Over the weekend, the Ceara club could only manage a 1-1 draw with Atletico Mineiro, while Palestra walked away with a 3-1 triumph over Juventude.

We say: Fortaleza 1-2 Palmeiras

While Palestra do not have a great record at Arena Casleleo, we believe that the momentum they have built up will carry them to a sixth successive triumph on Wednesday.
