🏠 Fortaleza : Form and Statistics

Last Five Matches: LLLWL

Fortleza’s current form pits them as the team with the second-highest loss rate, with thirteen losses in twenty-three games. The Leao de Pici has only picked one win from the last five league contests, having lost to Fluminense (2-1), Mirassol (1-nil), Internacional (2-1) and Palmeiras (4-1).

Fortaleza averages one goal per game, with twenty-three goals in twenty-three games. Defensively, they have conceded thirty-eight goals, and currently have a goal difference of -15. With a very poor form at the Castelao grounds, Fortaleza has managed to pick up four wins, two stalemates and six losses.

🏁Fortaleza: Lineup

Martin Palermo, who was asked a lot of questions concerning the recent 4-1 thrashing against Palmeiras, will be expected to tighten the belts against Sport Recife, who recently took three points against the Corinthians. There are numerous problems with the Fortaleza’s line-up, with an outrageously horrible streak of performances. Their defensive play has been dirt-poor, conceding thirty eight goals in twenty three league games alongside the 4-2-6 home record and an  0-4-7 away record. 

Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1): Leite, Pacheco-Avila-Gazal-Mancuso, Sasha-Pereira, Lopes-Crispim-Pikachu, Lucero

Head Coach: Martin Palermo

⛔ Out: Injured - Benevenuto, Tinga, Joao Ricardo, Moises. Doubtful - Kuscevic, Herrera Suspended-Britez

✈️Sport Recife: Form and Statistics

Recent Form: DLLDW

Sport Recife’s recent 1-nil victory over the Corinthians was a welcome development, after the prior stalemate encounter against Red Bull Bragantino. With only sixteen goals scored in the league, Sport Recife tags as the team with the least attacking flair, scoring the least while only winning two games in twenty-three weeks.

Slated as the underdog in the Corinthian clash, halftime saw the two sides still tied at parity. The inertia breaker came four minutes after the blow of the second half whistle, with Matheusinho finding the back of the net to secure their second league win.

The most five games played up-to-the-minute have improved their league standings with five additional points, courtesy of two losses, two stalemates and one win.

🏁 Sport Recife: Lineup

Lucas Lima, absent from the 1-nil victory over Corinthians is back from suspension, and will return to the starting XI to take his place in the right wing. Ze Lucas, Diogo Hereda and Sergio Oliveira will be sidelined ahead of this clash due to availability issues.

🔖 Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1): Vasconcelos, Candido-Thyere-Menezes-Aderlan, Matheusinho-Rivera-Hyoran, Lima-Lacerda-Pereira

👤 Head Coach: Daniel Paulista

⛔ Out: Ze Lucas, Diogo Hereda, Sergio Oliviera
