Gremio will be looking to beat Corinthians to further their chances of holding on to a spot in the top 3, while Santos FC, Internacional, and Fluminense will look to crawl up the table as Cruzeiro watches them from up top in the Brazil Serie A.

Santos FC vs. Internacional

After suffering back-to-back losses, Santos was able to bounce back with a 2-1 win against Ponte Preta on Saturday courtesy on a goal each from Everton Costa and Walter Montillo.

Preta significantly more chances at goal, but Santos were just too efficient.

Right-back Cicinho and midfielder Leandrinho are out due to suspensions, while Bruno Peres will be inserted back into the line-up and in-form Costa will likely be called up to start.

Spirits are high at the Internacional camp as they handed Nautico a 4-1 thrashing on Sunday.

Suspended Otavio and Fabricio will watch the fixture from the sidelines, while Kleber will likely get the nod at left-back and Alex at midfield.

Probable Starting 11:

Santos FC (4-2-2-2): Aranha; Emerson, Henrique, Dracena, Peres; Arouca, Alison; Cicero, Montillo; Ribeiro, Costa

Internacional (4-2-2-2): Muriel; Kleber, Juan, Jackson, Gabriel; Willians, Airton; Alex, D'Alessandro; Damiao, Scocco

Cruzeiro vs. Fluminense

Top team Cruzeiro are coming off back-to-back defeats and changes may seem imminent.

Mayke and Dagoberto are among the contenders to rejuvenate the team as Dede is still on international duty.

Julio Baptista and Mauricio Victorino have been ruled out due to injuries, while Luan's presence remains doubtful.

Plagued with suspensions and injuries, Vanderlei Luxemburgo may have to employ the 3-5-2 for Fluminense due to lack of personnel.

Diguinho, Biro Biro, and Marcos Junior are all serving suspensions, while Fred, Digao, and Carlinhos are out due to injuries.

Probable Starting 11:

Cruzeiro (4-2-3-1): Fabio; Egidio, Rodrigo, Leo, Mayke; Nilton, Silva; Dagoberto, Goulart, Ribeiro; Borges

Fluminense (3-5-2): Klever; Anderson, Euzebio, Gum; Rafinha, Jean, Edinho, Wagner, Vieira; Rhayner, Sobis

Gremio vs. Corinthians

Gremio drew with Fluminense over the weekend after suffering a disappointment from Criciuma.

Renato Gaucho's men will have to make use of the optimism arising from the point that they have obtained to solidify a top 3 spot.

Kleber is suspended, while Edu Vargas is still on international duties.

Maxi Rodriguez may be given the nod to start in lieu of vargas, and Marcelo Groho will stand between the sticks with Dida out with an injury.

Scoring goals will be the main cause of concern for Corinthians as Paolo Guerrero is out with a knock.

Emerson needs to make the necessary adjustments to his crosshair if he wants his team to come out victorious.

Probable Starting 11:

Gremio (3-5-2): Grohe; Rhodolfo, Werley, Bressan; Telles, Ramiro, Souza, Adriano, Para; Barcos, Rodriguez

Corinthians (4-2-3-1): Cassio; Igor, Andre, Cleber, Edenilson; Guilherme, Ralf; N/A, Douglas, Romarinho; Emerson
