All eyes will be on the Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday evening as Fluminense host Santos.
13 points adrift of league leaders Flamengo, Fluminense's focus has been shifted to the Copa Libertadores with Marcão's side trailing Palmeiras 2-1 from the first leg of their semi-final clash.
Santos have enjoyed a resurgence under Cuca and are outsiders to achieve a Copa Libertadores berth for next season as they trail Bahia in fifth by seven points.
However, with former Liverpool and Barcelona midfielder Philippe Coutinho now in their ranks, they will be hoping to make a late charge for a top-five finish.
In what promises to be an intriguing encounter, the Football Betting Club's Nathan Joyes is siding with the visitors to pick up a result.

Alternative Bet: Santos Draw No Bet @ 5/4
"There's a couple of angles on this match and I'd say this is my strongest bet on the card," said Joyes.
"Fluminense are in the middle of their Copa Libertadores match and they will be taking that very seriously, and we've witnessed time and time again how teams will heavily rotate ahead of the second tie.
"So not only will Fluminense look to rotate, they might not take this game as seriously and they certainly won't want any injuries.
"They are playing a Santos team that have won four of their last five on the road and are absolutely flying. They welcome back Neymar for this particular match, which is a huge tick.
"The only game they have lost was last weekend where they were beaten 2-1 by Atletico Mineiro, despite taking the lead in the 88th minute.
"I don't think Santos' confidence will have taken too much of a knock from that defeat and they're still chasing a Libertadores spot. Their turnaround has been incredible, and Gabriel Barbosa up top has been a really solid signing.
"Santos don't have anything else to play for, so they're going all in. They recently signed Philippe Coutinho, who has been doing his bit alongside Neymar - they're getting the band back together but it's paying off.
"Backing the visitors makes sense with Fluminense distracted and hopefully they can pick up all three points on the road."
