4th Round of the 2026 Brasileirão: Matches, Lineups and Where to Watch!
Seven matches will make up the 4th Round of the 2026 Brasileirão. Find out everything about each one!
The Brazilian Championship is still in its opening rounds, but it already shows that the season promises excitement and competitiveness until the very end. Kicking off this Wednesday, February 25, the 4th Round of the 2026 Brasileirão will feature plenty of action for Football Betting fans.
Four teams remain unbeaten and tied at the top: Palmeiras, São Paulo, Bahia and Fluminense. Meanwhile, the relegation zone currently includes four traditional giants: Vasco, Santos, Internacional and Cruzeiro, all of whom have had a start below expectations.
There will be seven matches, as three games were postponed due to Brazilian clubs participating in CONMEBOL competitions: Botafogo vs Vitória, Bahia vs Chapecoense and Flamengo vs Mirassol — since the first two home sides are playing in the Libertadores Qualifiers, while the third will decide the Recopa Sudamericana.
To help you plan ahead, we have prepared this guide with everything about the 4th Round of the 2026 Brazilian Championship. Check it out!
Cruzeiro vs Corinthians
Corinthians head into this clash in a much more comfortable situation than Cruzeiro. Timão sit 5th in the table, with two wins and one loss in their last matches — the most recent being an away victory.
On the other side, Raposa are experiencing a Brasileirão start they would rather forget in the future: the team is bottom of the table, with two defeats and one draw, and also suffered a heavy loss to Botafogo in their season opener, putting Belo Horizonte on high alert.

Head-to-Head Record
This matchup carries tradition and numbers that favor the home side when played at Mineirão. There have been 38 matches there, with 17 Cruzeiro wins, 12 Corinthians wins and 9 draws.
The Fox has scored 51 goals against Timão’s 41. Overall, however, in the Brazilian Championship, the balance is tighter — in 74 meetings, Corinthians lead with 29 wins, compared to Cruzeiro’s 25 and 20 draws.
Predictions
With such an unpleasant start to the season for Cruzeiro, even the home advantage and strong history at Mineirão do not significantly impact the odds. A Raposa win is priced at 1.88, while the draw stands at 3.4 and a Timão victory at 4.2.

Palmeiras vs Fluminense
If there is a six-pointer this round, this is certainly it. Palmeiras and Fluminense share the top spot in the Brasileirão, both with 7 points — but Verdão hold the edge on goal difference and therefore sit at the summit.
Both teams are in good form: Abel Ferreira’s side have two wins and one draw, while Fluminense also have two victories and one draw, highlighted by their defensive solidity — setting the stage for a major clash in Barueri.

Predictions
Even with both teams tied on points and showing similar performances in the competition, Fluminense have higher odds here at 4.1 — a reflection of home advantage and the strong historical record favoring Palmeiras. A Verdão win is priced at 1.88 and the draw at 3.5.

Two giants who have yet to hit top form in the Brasileirão meet this Wednesday at Arena do Grêmio. The team from Rio Grande do Sul sit 13th with one win and two losses, while Galo are just behind in 15th with two draws and one defeat — meaning they are still searching for their first victory in the competition. Both sides are looking to improve their performances and secure a win to climb the table.

Head-to-Head Record
In 81 matches played between the teams in all competitions, Grêmio hold the advantage with 33 wins compared to Atlético-MG’s 27 and 21 draws. When played in Porto Alegre, Grêmio’s dominance is even clearer — in 38 home matches, they have recorded 22 wins, 10 draws and only 6 victories for Atlético-MG.
Predictions
Home advantage carries significant weight. Grêmio are favorites with odds of 2.2 — the draw is priced at 3.4 and an Atlético-MG win at 3.15. Although both teams have similar campaigns so far, recent history and the record at Arena do Grêmio give the hosts the edge.

Remo vs Internacional
After a high-scoring draw in Belo Horizonte, Leão Azul return to Mangueirão looking for their first win in the Brasileirão and a chance to reach 5 points. On the other side, Internacional, with one draw and two defeats, arrive under pressure to finally secure their first victory in the competition. With both teams needing an early response in the standings, this clash has all the ingredients for an intense and hard-fought match.

Head-to-Head Record
Remo and Internacional have faced each other 8 times in official matches. Overall, Colorado hold the advantage with 5 wins, compared to Remo’s 2 and 1 draw. However, at Mangueirão the matchup is far more balanced: in 5 matches in Pará, each side has won twice, along with 1 draw.
Predictions
According to the odds, Internacional are slight favorites to leave Belém with all three points: a Colorado win is priced at 2.30, while Remo are listed as underdogs at 3.10. The draw (3.30) reinforces a balanced scenario, with both teams still trying to establish themselves early in the Brasileirão, suggesting a game likely to be decided by fine margins.
