Still mired inside the relegation zone following another defeat in midweek, Cuiaba host a Ceara side under new management at Arena Pantanal on Saturday.
While the hosts were beaten for the third time in five Brasileiro matches, their visitors held the reigning champions goalless last time out to remain unbeaten since early May.
We say: Cuiaba 1-2 Ceara
As their struggle to score goals with any regularity goes on, Cuiaba could come up short again this weekend against a Ceara side who have been tough to beat, if not prolific themselves.
The visitors will therefore stretch their advantage over their hosts to six points and edge further up the congested Serie A table.

Two sides level on points in the top half of the Brasileiro Serie A standings square off on Saturday when Santos play host to Bragantino at the Estadio Urbano Caldeira.
The Massa Bruta will head into the game desperate to get one over the hosts having failed to win any of the last eight meetings between the sides since January 2018.
We say: Santos 1-1 Bragantino
With Santos and Bragantino level on points, we anticipate a thrilling contest with both sides having a go at each other in search of all three points. They head into the game in similar form and we proved the spoils will be shared in this one.
