Athletico Paranaense will be looking to close the gap at the top of the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A table when they host Fortaleza on Saturday.
The hosts have had no problems scoring goals so far this campaign, finding the net in each of their opening seven league games, while the visitors have failed to score in both of their last two away matches.
We say: Athletico Paranaense 2-1 Fortaleza
Despite a few slight setbacks, both Athletico Paranaense and Fortaleza have started the campaign strongly – currently sitting inside the top four – and both teams will fancy their chances of claiming all three points on Saturday.
The hosts will be the slight favourites for this contest and may just edge a closely-fought encounter at the Arena da Baixada.

Currently sat mid-table in the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A, Corinthians and Internacional will be looking to claim all three points on Saturday and climb closer to the top four.
The visitors have claimed seven of their nine points so far this campaign on the road, while the hosts have only won one of their opening four league matches on home soil.
We say: Corinthians 1-1 Internacional
Four of the last five league meetings between Corinthians and Internacional have ended as a draw, with three of those ending goalless. With little to separate the two teams, a draw could be on the cards once against this Saturday at the Corinthians Arena.
