Season ticket holders at Estádio Nabi Abi Chedid haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Bragantino languishing in the 19th 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 Bragantino and Sport Recife.
These teams have little in common geographically as Sport Recife have to travel 2500 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
