Big changes in Serie A's table as Flamengo RJ and Santos FC are with equal points standing on the top, while not long ago leaders, Palmeiras are now down to the fifth place.
A match between the first and last in the standing will be played on Saturday, when Avai FC host Flamengo RJ.
Considering their poor results from the start of the season, Avai FC won't be hoping for any points against this rival.
Fluminense RJ will try to escape their misery with at least a point in their next away fixture against Fortaleza.
The away side have been underperforming for quite a long time, having won just 3 matches from the start of the season, which surely needs improvement, if they aim to stay in the league.
Cruzeiro, who are in serious danger, will have to earn some points, in order to stay away from the relegation zone, which can start with a home win against Grêmio on Sunday.
Unfortunately Grêmio aren't an easy rival, as they have shown good away results lately.
In another Sunday fixture, Santos FC won't hesitate to crush the inconsistent team of Atlético PR.
The home side need more stable results in order to continue pressuring Flamengo RJ on the top.
