One more week of action is heading our way in the Brazilian Serie A, with some of the big teams in the league struggling and others trying to confirm their options to win the title in coming months.
Despite their loss on Wednesday, Flamengo will be defending the top spot in the league, with the only change being that they will not be alone on that matter. This weekend, Bahia will be trying to improve their goalscoring difference compared to Flamengo's, and even if both teams win, Bahia could claim the top spot once this weekend concludes.
Other teams to keep an eye on in terms of who could finish the weekend as leaders are Botafogo and Palmeiras, who sit one point behind the league leaders and will try to take advantage of any slip-up by the league leaders. Palmeiras could have taken the top during their midweek match, but an untimely loss to Fortaleza denied them from that possibility.
Speaking of the other side of the table, Fluminense continue their downward spiral, with only one win after 1 games and with five losses in a row. As things stand, they are four points away from the safe zone, but things really need to change within the club to see them going back where this massive team belongs.
Before we go deeper, let us get a glimpse of the table and how you can follow all matches that will be held from Saturday and all the way to Monday.
