Fortaleza welcome Palmeiras to Castelao on Saturday, and the hosts are looking to end a six-game winless run.
The visitors sit in third place in the Campeonato Brasileiro table and will also be aiming to get back to winning ways following two consecutive defeats.
We say: Fortaleza 1-1 Palmeiras
We expect this to be a close contest with only three places separating the two sides in the league table, and given the fact that both sides will be low on confidence, we think that they will be content with a point apiece.

With relegation already confirmed, Chapecoense will be looking to restore some pride in their remaining five Campeonato Brasileiro fixtures, and they will aim to collect their second victory of the season when they host Gremio on Saturday.

We say: Chapecoense 1-2 Gremio
Although Gremio have struggled on the road this term, a trip to the side bottom of the league presents a glorious opportunity for the visitors to instil some impetus into their season, and we think Gremio will edge out their hosts on Saturday to claim consecutive victories.
