Season ticket holders at Estádio Paulo de Souza Coelho haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Petrolina languishing in the 8th position so far. The guesting Sport Recife will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
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 Petrolina and Sport Recife.
Petrolina form and stats
Petrolina have collected 4 points from their Pernambucano 1 home games so far after 1-1-1.
A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Petrolina, who played 1-1 against Central. That match was also played at this venue (Estádio Paulo de Souza Coelho). A 1-1 draw away before that, with Academica Vitoria the opponent.
Petrolina are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 3 goals in 3 games. 3 goals have been conceded.
Sport Recife form and stats
Still no away game victory in the Pernambucano 1 for Sport Recife with 2 draws and 1 loss from their first 3 attempts.
Sport Recife go into this game after a win, the home game against Afogados that ended 4-0. A 1-2 defeat away at Salgueiro before that.
As mentioned above, Sport Recife was the only team on the pitch versus Afogados in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.
After this away game Sport Recife return home for a Copa do Nordeste game against Santa Cruz. That game is only three sleeps after this.
The attacking power of Sport Recife when travelling is not overwhelming with 2 goals scored from 3 league matches away. 3 goals have been conceded by Sport Recife in these games.
