In-form Atletico Mineiro take on Bahia at Estadio Governador Magalhaes Pinto on Sunday looking to keep the pressure on Brasileiro leaders Palmeiras.
The hosts are seven games without defeat in all competitions, winning six of those, while Bahia enter this game on the back of successive defeats.
We say: Atletico Mineiro 3-1 Bahia
Bahia have had a week to prepare for this game, whereas Atletico Mineiro had an eventful Libertadores clash with Boca Juniors in midweek that went the distance.
The penalty-shootout win against the Argentinian heavyweights kept the hosts' momentum going, though, and we can see them making it six league wins on the spin here.

Last season's Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A champions Flamengo will be looking to close in on a place in the top four when they host Sao Paulo on Sunday.
The two teams head into this fixture after successfully progressing into the quarter-finals of the Copa Libertadores, after both overcoming Argentinian opposition.
We say: Flamengo 1-0 Sao Paulo
Flamengo have seemingly found their form at the right time and will be hoping to continue their good run with another victory on Sunday.
Sao Paulo have also improved in recent weeks, however we can see the hosts securing a narrow win, which would be their first against the visitors in over four years.

A top-four battle in the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A will take place on Sunday when Fortaleza welcome Bragantino to the Arena Castelao.
The visitors are unbeaten in their last 14 matches across all competitions, while the hosts are yet to lose in the league on home soil so far this season.
We say: Fortaleza 2-1 Bragantino
Bragantino have struggled to get over the line and win matches in recent weeks, having drawn five of their last seven games across all competitions.
Fortaleza, meanwhile, are looking strong both defensively and going forward, winning their last three games by an aggregate 6-0 scoreline.
A closely-fought contest is set to be played out on Sunday, but we can see the hosts claiming a narrow victory, ending Bragantino's 14-game unbeaten run.

After failing to win any of their last three league matches, Athletico Paranaense will be looking to claim all three points when they host Internacional in the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A on Sunday.
The Furacao are one of only five top-flight sides who are yet to lose at home this season, while the visitors have claimed nine points from their six away games so far this term.
We say: Athletico Paranaense 2-0 Internacional
Internacional have failed to score in four of their last five matches across all competitions, while Athletico Paranaense have looked stronger in front of goal, scoring in nine of their last 10 games.
The hosts will be the slight favourites for Sunday's contest and we are predicting that they will get back to winning ways with a narrow victory at the Arena da Baixada.

Atletico Goianiense will be looking to turn their league form around when they travel to Santos in the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A on Sunday.
The two teams have won, drawn and lost two games each in their last six meetings against each other, and another closely-fought contest could be on the cards at the Estadio Urbano Caldeira.
We say: Santos 1-1 Atletico Goianiense
Both sides have struggled for consistency so far this campaign and will be keen to put a winning run together to push themselves towards the Copa Libertadores qualification spots.
However, with little to separate the two teams, a score draw could be played out at the Estadio Urbano Caldeira.
