Juventude will aim to bounce back from consecutive Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A defeats on Sunday, when they play host to Atletico Goianiense.

Two straight losses have seen Marquinhos Santos's men drop back down to 13th spot in the Brazilian top flight, while their opponents have also moved down the table in recent weeks, now occupying eighth place.

We say: Juventude 1-2 Atletico Goianiense

While Juventude have shown resilience upon their return to the top flight, they come into Sunday's game in a disappointing run of form, and the visitors could take advantage of that as they aim to take a step towards breaking back into the top six.

Atletico GO will feel they have more than enough quality at their disposal to get past the newly-promoted side, as long as their front three manages to click.

Two out-of-form sides meet at the Maracana on Sunday as Flamengo play host to Chapecoense.

The home team have lost their last two matches to drop down to 12th, while Chapecoense have yet to win this campaign and are 19th in the 20-team division.

We say: Flamengo 2-0 Chapecoense

Flamengo cannot afford to lose another match, especially against a side as low in the division as Chapecoense, who are yet to win a game this season.

The Scarlet-Black have a big cup game to come next week, but all focus will be on this match and we can see them picking up a morale-boosting win.

Cuiaba will be looking to build on their draw against erstwhile Brasileiro leaders Bragantino when they take on Ceara at Arena Pantanal on Sunday.

The Green-Gold enter this fixture 18th in the division after a long winless run, while Ceara are nine points better off in ninth place.

We say: Cuiaba 0-1 Ceara

Ceara have drawn their last four away matches, failing to score in three of those.

However, Cuiaba have themselves struggled for both goals and points at home this term, and we can see the visitors picking up their fourth win of the campaign on Sunday.

Fortaleza will host Corinthians in the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A on Monday night, hoping to claim their third successive home victory.

The visitors, meanwhile, are unbeaten in each of their last six away games across all competitions, keeping four clean sheets in the process.

We say: Fortaleza 1-1 Corinthians

One of the league's best teams in front of goal will face the tightest defence at the Estadio Presidente Vargas, with Monday's encounter set to be a closely-fought contest.

The last two meetings between Fortaleza and Corinthians ended as draws, and with little to separate the two teams, the same result could be played out in Ceara.
