CRB form and stats

It's the first season at a new level for CRB as they were promoted from Serie B last season. Happy days that were secured through 16 wins, 12 draws and 10 losses from 38 games. The team scored 26 goals at home last season and conceded 17. It will be interesting to see how they perform at this level.

The match schedule is unforgiving for CRB as they have a new game in only four days, a Alagoano match thankfully also at home. Murici are visiting.

Sport Recife form and stats

The last season was not a pleasant experience for Sport Recife as they could not accumulate enough points to survive. After only 9 victories from 38 games, relegation was a fact. Sport Recife's manager Florentín are hoping to lead the team right back to Serie A at the first attempt.

A quick return to home after this game, as Recife are hosting Sete de Setembro PE in the Pernambucano 1 only four days away.
