REF’s picks

Palmeiras are firmly in the title race and boast a dominant home record, making them the sound choice here against a mid-table Bragantino side. Abel Ferreira's men have won four of their last five in all competitions and hold a strong historical edge in this fixture.

1. 1Palmeiras sit second in the table and need all three points to keep pressure on league leaders Flamengo.
2. 2Bragantino's recent away form has been patchy, including a disappointing draw against relegation-threatened Remo.
3. 3Absences such as Piquerez and the suspended Andreas Pereira could slightly blunt the hosts' usual rhythm.
