This could be an interesting match as Sport Recife have their presumed home advantage while Internacional are ahead 8 points in the Serie A table.
It's no vacation for neither Recife nor Internacional as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
These teams have little in common geographically as Internacional have to travel 3700 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
