The first week of action in the Brazilian Serie A has come and gone, and now after two games for almost all teams, it's time to continue watching what has turned out to be one of the most exciting club competitions in South America.
Only two teams in the league managed to win their two first games of the season. Meanwhile, Sao Paulo and Atlético Goianense were unable to win their first points of this campaign, which will make it a bit more interesting for fans of these teams to witness their fixtures. The rest of the league will also continue with Palmeiras, Corinthians, and other clubs trying to leave a lasting impression on those watching their matches.
Have a look at what this weekend holds in store for fans to watch in the Brazilian top-flight..

Top games to watch
Fluminense vs Vasco da Gama - The Copa Libertadores winners are ready for a new game at home, this time against Vasco da Gama. The continental cup winners did not have a proper start of the season, drawing one game and losing the other last week, while the away side claimed a win and lost their other clash. Fluminense are unbeaten against Vasco in their last four games at the Maracaná, a streak they will want to keep on Saturday to get back on track in the early rounds of the championship.

Atlético Mineiro vs Cruzeiro - Cruzeiro enter this game having won four points, courtesy of a win and a draw last week. On the other hand, the hosts are still undefeated but with only two points to their name, which should make this a very interesting clash. This will also be a rematch of the Campeonato Mineiro final, where Atlético won the title thanks to a 5-3 aggregate that forced Cruzeiro to sack former coach Nicolás Larcamón. Is it payback time for the team in blue, or will Atlético extend their dominance?
[MATCH 4923902]
Palmeiras vs Flamengo - One of the most anticipated games of the week -and the season- will take place at Allianz Parque, where Palmeiras will try to show better form than the one they did against Internacional on Wednesday. Flamengo started this Brasileirao edition with wins against Atlético Goianense and Sao Paulo, although some might say they defeated two teams that have not shown their best form. This will be a good test for these teams, considering that the last match between them ended in a emphatic 3-0 win for the Rubro Negro.
