Brasileirao 2024 - How to watch all games on May 4-6, 2024

The first month of action in the Brazilian Serie A has come and gone, and fans around the world are already discussing some of the top moments they have witnessed in the tournament.

The top spot of the table has not been held by any club for more than a weekend. Right now, Botafogo are the league leaders despite losing the first match of the season, but with three wins in a row, O Glorioso are now top of the league and with big options to continue their dominance.

Additionally, there are some popular teams ready to leave a lasting impression on fans across the country and beyond. Atlético Mineiro and RB Bragantino are part of the chasing pack with eight points, which raises an interesting point about the benefits of an unbeaten start. Both teams remain unbeaten in the 2024 edition of this competition and they have not been able to claim the top spot, which speaks volumes on how competitive this tournament really is.

Even if it's still early in the tournament, there are some teams who have to be worried about their performance. More specifically, Rio de Janeiro giants Vasco da Gama have struggled in the early weeks of the competition, which has led to suffering three losses in a row. It may be early in the season, but some of their peers (like Santos last year) kicked back and relaxed thinking they could get away from the drop zone and ended being relegated. With that in mind, Vasco will want to end their losing streak as soon as possible and go back to the top spots, where they belong.

This week's fixtures will feature a mix of clubs that have won a fair share of points and other matches with teams that have struggled to impress. Before we go deeper into those, let us get a glimpse of the table and how you can follow all matches that will unfold this weekend.

Top games to watch

Fluminense vs Atlético Mineiro - The Copa Libertadores winners have not been as dominant as expected, winning only one of their games this season. This week, Fernando Diniz will try to lead his team to a second victory against Atlético Mineiro, one of the unbeaten teams in the tournament and who are seen by many as true title contenders. Atlético have won five out of their last seven against Fluminense, including two out of their last three, but Marcelo and Co. seem to be stronger when they play at home, making us believe that this could be a pretty complicated clash to predict.

RB Bragantino vs Flamengo - The Brazilian Red Bulls make it to this game as one of the few unbeaten teams in the competition, but facing Tite's men could change that. The Rubro-Negro will be aiming to get some payback against the Massa Bruta following their 4-0 loss last year at Nabi Adi Chedid Stadium, and following their first loss of the season, winning against an unbeaten team would be a big way to bounce back. The hosts for Saturday's game rescued one point in their game against Fortaleza last week, but winning their first two games at home in this Brasileirao season could be a sign of things to come here.

[MATCH 4923916]

Botafogo vs Bahia - The league leaders welcome the Maior do Nordeste in a game that could be a bit tricky for Rio's Black and White. Artur Jorge's team will aim to replicate their most recent result against the team owned by City Football Group, which ended three-nil. But even with that performance, the club led by Rogerio Ceni has found a way to go three games unbeaten, with two of those ending in wins. Bahia have not been able to beat Botafogo at Nilton Santos Stadium since 2020, which may be a good indication on how this game could unfold.
