Brazilian Serie A leaders Palmeiras will continue their league campaign on Sunday when they take on 11th-placed Avai at the Estadio da Ressacada.

Palmeiras enjoy a three-point lead against rivals Corinthians at the top of the standings. With a 2-1 win at Sao Paulo last time around, they made it four wins in a row in the league. Surprisingly, they fell to a 1-0 loss against the same opposition in the Copa do Brasil Round of 16 first leg on Wednesday.

Avai, meanwhile, saw their two-game-winning run in the league come to an end, as they fell to a 2-0 loss against Fluminense last time around. With just one point separating them from sixth-placed Fluminense, a win will propel them to sixth place in the standings.
