Corinthians v Flamengo (Brazilian Serie A)
League positions: Corinthians 4th Flamengo 6th
Useful facts: Both sides go into this game with fluctuating form, with two wins from their last six for Flamengo and three wins in the same timeframe for Corinthians. Both sides have also lost three times in that run of games. However, history is on Corinthians' side, with Carlos Tevez's former team having beaten their opponents in four of their last six meetings.
Sherwyn Naicker: Draw… 2–2 or 1–1.
Internacional v Gremio (Brazilian Serie A)
League positions: Internacional 2nd Gremio 5th
Useful facts: Gremio's poor run of only one win from their last six against Internacional looks unlikely to end, with the fifth placed side having lost their last two games against Vitoria and Atletico PR. That said, three of the last six meetings have ended in draws and a stalemate appears a likely outcome, given that Internacional are on a three-game winless streak
Sherwyn Naicker: I'll go 1–0 for Internacional.
Santos v Chapecoense (Brazilian Serie A)
League positions: Santos 3rd Chapecoense 11th
Useful facts: Santos are in great form as they continue to rise up the table and have won five of their last six. They have also won two of their last four encounters against Chapecoense, who have only won one of their last six. Two home wins from two home encounters also makes it seem like Neymar's former team should run away with the result.
Sherwyn Naicker: I'll give Santos a 2–0 win here.
