Here’s everything to look out for in this round of fixtures.

Palmeiras v Atlético Goianiense – Thursday 16 June

With six wins, four draws and just one defeat so far, Palmeiras should be considered the favourites for this one.

But the visiting Dragão go into the game full of confidence after a 2-0 victory away at Fluminense at the weekend and should not be underestimated.

Athletico Paranaense v Corinthians – Wednesday 15 June

Just one point behind Palmeiras are Corinthians and a victory over Athletico for Timão would see them leapfrog their arch rivals at the top.

But getting three points against Luiz Felipe Scolari’s in-form side on the artificial pitch at the Arena da Baixada won’t be easy, and this is a tough clash to call.

Juventude v Santos – Tuesday 14 June

Two teams in a bit of trouble go head-to-head at Estádio Alfredo Jaconi.

Juventude are currently second-bottom of the table with just 10 points so far, while Santos are only four points ahead and the relegation zone is too close for comfort for Peixe.

Red Bull Bragantino v Coritiba – Wednesday 15 June

A draw for Braga at the weekend leaves them down in 12th place, but their good record at Estádio Nabi Abi Chedid gives them confidence going into this game.

While Coxa are still seventh despite defeat to Palmeiras at the weekend, and they will be looking to bounce back quickly.

Ceará v Atlético Mineiro – Wednesday 15 June

Vozão will also be hoping their home record serves them well as they look to improve upon their current 13th place in the table.

Visitors Galo should be considered slight favourites for this one, although they travel to Castelão on the back of a three-match winless streak.

Flamengo v Cuiabá – Wednesday 15 June

Paulo Sousa is gone but Flamengo are yet to turn their season around and could find themselves languishing in the relegation zone if they lose this match.

Not that 17th-placed Cuiabá’s season is going much better at present. This one could go either way.

Goiás vs Internacional – Wednesday 15 June

If any match demonstrates how tight the Brasileirão is at the moment, it’s this one.

Inter are currently flying high in fourth place, while Goiás are 10 places but only four points behind them.

A win for the hosts could really propel them up the table.

América-MG v Fluminense – Wednesday 15 June

Fluminense travel to Estádio Raimundo Sampaio hoping to end a rotten run of three defeats in their last four matches which has seen them drop to eighth place.

And América-MG’s form hasn’t been good lately either, with two defeats on the spin leaving them ninth.

Botafogo v São Paulo – Thursday 16 June

Unbeaten in their last nine Brasileirão games and riding high in third, São Paulo should be considered heavy favourites for this one.

But struggling hosts Botafogo – down in 17th – will be aiming to spring a surprise and kickstart their campaign.

Avaí v Fortaleza – Thursday 16 June

With just seven points from their first 11 matches, Fortaleza are currently propping up the table.

And this week they travel to face Avaí, who are slap bang in mid-table after beating Botafogo with 10 men last time out.
