Palmeiras got back on track with a 2-0 win over Cruzeiro last time out, a result that helped to ease the pain of their 1-0 loss to title rivals Botafogo before that. The visitors are 21/20 favourites to add another victory to their haul this week against a Fluminense outfit that has lodged just two wins so far this term.

Lopez in red-hot form

Lopez is a dynamic presence who is just as likely to pick up a booking as he is to score a goal. The Argentinean attacker has scored five times and collected five yellow cards in just ten starts in Serie A this season.
