Game week two of the Copa do Nordeste season and the teams have had a few days to digest the first match. Here's the Sport Recife - Vitória preview:

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Sport Recife and Vitória.

With three draws in a row for Vitória the feeling in the team is perhaps one of both relief and disappointment.

Vitória's last game was the home draw against Juazeirense (2-2). A 2-2 draw at Fluminense de Feira's stadium before that.

Vitória has another fixture away, a Baiano 1 game, against Vitoria da Conquista in just one days. A tough schedule for the visitors!

Let's have a look at how Vitória performed last season in the Baiano 1: They landed a 9th position in the league table after playing out 0 victories, 0 draws and 0 defeats. In total they scored 0 and conceded 0 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 0 - drew 0 and lost 0 with 0/0 goals scored/conceded.

There are 26 state football leagues in Brazil. Because of long distances in Brazil a very competitive football culture developed within each state. Therefore, Brazil remain one of the few countries who still run state championships alongside the national ones. Most of them run from January to May, outside the national season.
