REF’s picks

Cuiabá return to home turf at the Arena Pantanal looking to exploit Avaí's dismal away form and keep their promotion hopes alive. The visitors sit precariously near the drop zone and have struggled defensively on the road, making a home win the logical choice.

1. 1Cuiabá hold a solid home record and recently defeated Ponte Preta comfortably.
2. 2Avaí's recent away defeats to sides like Criciúma and Goiás highlight their defensive frailties on travels.
3. 3Cuiabá lost the reverse fixture 1-0 earlier this season, meaning complacency could prove a dangerous risk.
