Grêmio has been climbing up the table, leaving the relegation places, and is fighting to enter the Copa Sudamericana zone. Last weekend, they gave a great hit in the tournament with a 0-0 draw against Botafogo, thus closing the gap in the fight for the title. They have not fared well at home and have three losses in their last four games. Miguel Monsalve is suspended.

Fortaleza is still fighting for the title. It is only two points behind the Fogão and comes from beating Cuiabá (1-0), achieving two wins in a row and three undefeated games. However, they have not won in three away games and have suffered two defeats, one of them against the other team from Porto Alegre, Internacional (2-1).

Much more was expected from RB Bragantino this tournament, but they have been a disappointment. It is in 11th place with 33 points, with more losses (11) than wins (8). They have four games without a victory, tying three of them, and have only earned eight points out of the last 33 after winning only one of the most recent 11 games played.

Palmeiras has in its favor that it is only playing one tournament at the moment and is 100% focused on the Brasileirao. It is only one point behind Botafogo and has six consecutive victories and eight unbeaten games. It is the second-best away team in the championship, with six wins, four draws, and three defeats.

RB Bragantino vs. Palmeiras Betting Pick: Palmeiras

Brasileirão Matchday 29: Athletico vs. Botafogo

When?	Saturday, October 5 at 3:30 pm ET, 2:30 pm CST, 1:30 pm MT, and 12:30 pm PT
Where?	Ligga Arena
Where can I watch it?	ViX, Premiere, and Paramount+

Athletico Paranaense is one of the teams fighting to avoid relegation. With 31 units, it is three points above Corinthians, so a defeat this weekend could put them in the red zone. They have eight games without a win, with three draws and five defeats, and the last time they won at the Ligga Arena was on June 13, making them one of the worst teams playing at home.

Botafogo hurt themselves badly by failing to win last weekend, and their lead was cut to just one point. They still are in first place, but the ghosts of last year are starting to appear when they squandered a big lead. They have now gone six games undefeated and are the best away team in the tournament with 25 points out of 42.

Athletico vs. Botafogo Betting Pick: Botafogo

Brasileirão Matchday 29: Bahia vs. Flamengo

When?	Saturday, October 5 at 6:00 pm ET, 5:00 pm CST, 4:00 pm MT, and 3:00 pm PT
Where?	Arena Fonte Nova

Bahia dropped out of the fight for the title, but now their mission is to finish among the first four teams in the Brasileirão to qualify directly for the Copa Libertadores. They are only three points away from achieving that mission since that place is in the hands of Flamengo. They have just beaten Criciúma (1-0) and are five games unbeaten at home with three victories.

Flamengo suffered a hard blow, being eliminated in the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores at the hands of Peñarol. Now, they will try to close the league perfectly to catch up with Botafogo’s nine-point advantage. As visitors, they have fared very badly and have four consecutive defeats in this condition.
