This season Palmeiras are once again the top force in the Brazilian Serie A, as they will try to repeat last year's success.
Corinthians will try to take advantage of playing at home in their next match against Flamengo RJ.
Flamengo RJ, on the other hand, are just 6 points behind Palmeiras and will try to remain positive.
Atlético Mineiro will have to defend their Copa Libertadores place, as Internacional are just 3 ponts behind and will probably have no problem beating Grêmio.
Mineiro's rival Fortaleza, have won their last 2 matches, and have a good record in the head to head statistics between the two teams, so the home side must be prepared for a battle.
In another rather interesting fixture, Internacional will face Grêmio.
Grêmio have been prolific lately, as the team have won their last 3 consecutive matches from the league, while, on the other hand, Internacional have missed to win their most recent match, which can lead to some problems in the squad.
The relegating team of CS Alagoano will have another tough match coming up this weekend against Atlético PR.
Needless to say, CS Alagoano will need at least a point from this encounter, as the team have won just a single match from the start of this campaign.
