Insights:

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

It's quite the trip for Bragantino when visiting Recife as the cities are 2500 kilometers apart.

Sport Recife form and stats

Sport Recife's results here at Estádio Adelmar da Costa Carvalho in the Serie A have been very modest with 1 victory, 2 draws and 3 defeats.

Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Mailson Tenorio dos Santos not having conceded a league goal in 287 minutes.

Recife are returning here after visiting Bahia in a Serie A game and winning with a 1-0 scoreline. Mikael scored the goal(s). The goalie Mailson was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 8.04 out of ten. Mailson stopped the opponent with four saves and topped it up with a clean sheet. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of U. Louzer Filho when Mikael scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 67th minute.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Ceara that ended 0-0.

Recife have scored 2 goals here in 6 league matches, a depressing statistic. From these home matches, Recife have conceded only 4 goals.
