Seeking to end their Brasileiro campaign on a high, Atletico Goianiense welcome Flamengo to the Estadio Antonio Accioly on Friday.
The hosts are looking to pick up a fourth straight league victory, while the away side set out to end a two-game winless streak.

Flamengo were beaten for the first time in 12 league outings following a 1-0 defeat to Santos at the Maracana on Tuesday.
Marcos Leonardo opened the scoring 12 minutes into the second period to condemn Mauricio Souza's men to an eighth league defeat of the season.
The Scarlet-Black are second on the log and are guaranteed to finish as runners-up irrespective of whatever happens on the final matchday.
Awaiting them next is a clash versus an opposing side who they have beaten in nine of the previous meetings since 2010, losing on just two occasions in that time.
Having picked up more points on the road than 18 of the remaining 19 teams, Friday's visitors will be confident of putting on another impressive display away from home.
Atletico Goianiense recorded a third win on the spin following a 2-1 victory over Internacional at the Estadio Beira Rio on Tuesday.
Marcelo Cabo's men fell behind to Yuri Alberto's 33rd-minute strike before hitting back through quickfire goals from Baralhas and Janderson.
The Dragons are ninth on the log as things stand and could still end up securing a spot in the playoffs of the Copa Libertadores should results go their way.
Only champions Atletico Mineiro have amassed more points over the last five gameweeks than Friday's hosts who are unbeaten in their most recent seven outings.

Team News
Andre Luis has missed each of his side's last two games due to a muscle injury, and the 24-year-old is a doubt for Friday's contest.
The hosts will also be without the services of Joao Paulo, who is currently battling a hamstring problem.
Flamengo head into the game missing a host of first-team players due to injury, with the likes of Diego Alves and Willian Arao headlining the list.
Rodrigo Caio, Filipe Luis, Bruno Henrique, Thiago Maia and Mauricio Isla are also ruled out for the visitors' trip to Goiania.
Atletico Goianiense possible starting lineup:
Kaufmann; Peixoto, Eder, Oliveira, Eduardo; Conceicao, Maranhao, Baralhas, Rodrigues, Janderson; Montenegro
Flamengo possible starting lineup:
Souza; Matheuzinho, Gustavo, Luiz, Rodinei; Ribeiro, Pereira, Gomes, Vitinho; Pedro, Barbosa
We say: Atletico Goianiense 2-1 Flamengo
Flamengo have little to play for heading into this one and can afford to take their foot off the gas. The hosts, on the other hand, are in pursuit of continental qualification, and we are backing them to come out on top, albeit by only a narrow margin.
