Two teams with contrasting Brasileiro ambitions this season will collide in gameweek 21 when Fluminense face off against Bahia at Estadio Jornalista Mario Filho on Sunday evening.
The hosts are looking to move out of the relegation zone, currently second bottom in the league standings, while the visitors are seventh and aiming to move back into Copa Libertadores qualification contention.
We say: Fluminense 1-0 Bahia
While Fluminense’s 15 goals scored this season remains the second-worst tally in the division, they have improved significantly in defence since the arrival of Thiago Silva, and we feel they will be able to notch up another narrow victory in this one.

Corinthians will be hoping to return to winning ways in Brasileiro this weekend when they take on Juventude at Neo Quimica Arena on Sunday evening.
The hosts enter this contest in 15th place in the league standings with 19 points, while the visitors are currently in 13th place with 21 points earned to date.
We say: Corinthians 2-1 Juventude
While Corinthians have been slipping in the league standings in recent weeks, they have maintained an impressive home record, unbeaten in their last five while scoring two or more in all but one of those matches.
Juventude, on the other hand, are winless on the road this season and are riding a five-match losing streak into this one having conceded two or more in each of those defeats. As a result, we feel the hosts will secure the points in this match.

Gameweek 21 in the fiercely competitive Brasileiro will see Athletico Paranaense playing host to Gremio at Arena da Baixada in Curitiba on Sunday evening.
The hosts have managed 32 points over the first 18 matchdays this season and are eighth in the league standings, while the visitors are now on 18 points and in 16th place.
We say: Athletico Paranaense 2-2 Gremio
While Gremio continue to battle the drop and have a very poor away record this season, they have begun to show signs of life in recent weeks, and we feel they will continue their upward trajectory by claiming a share of the spoils in this one.

Two sides seeking to return to winning ways in Brasileiro will face off this weekend when Palmeiras head to Estadio Jose Pinheiro Borda to take on Internacional.
The hosts are currently on 20 points and in 14th place in the league standings, while the defending champions are third with 36 points earned over the first half of the season.
We say: Internacional 1-1 Palmeiras
Both these sides are desperately looking to get back in the win column, but given their recent form, it is difficult to make a convincing case for either to secure the points here. Given their recent records, we feel they will be fairly content settling for a point apiece in this one.
