Preview
Cruzeiro and Sport Recife meet at Estádio Governador Magalhães Pinto, in a match for the 5th round of the Serie A. The head‑to‑head history at this stadium, favours the home team, since in the last 4 head‑to‑heads they won 3 and lost 1. Accordingly, in the last head‑to‑head played at this stadium, for the Serie A, on 20‑08‑2017, Cruzeiro won by (2‑0). Sassá (34' ) and Raniel (87' ) scored the goals of the match for Cruzeiro. Both teams register significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth atention.

Analysis Cruzeiro

The home team is currently in the 14th position of the league, with 4 points won, after 1 win, 1 draw and 2 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in an away match against Internacional, by (0‑0). In the last match, they won in a home match against Botafogo, by (1‑0). This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 6 draws and 4 losses in away matches; against 11 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses at their stadium. In the last 10 home matches Cruzeiro has won 8, tied 1 and lost 1. Their offense hasn’t been one of their best features, as they haven’t scored any goals in 3 of the last 4 matches for this competition. 24 of their last 35 matches have ended with Under 2,5 goals, so there is a tendency for few goals in their home matches.

Cruzeiro is one of the top teams in Brazilian football, with four Brazilian Championship titles won in its history, the most recent being won in 2013 and 2014. This season, the team is having to manage the squad once it contests the Brazilian Championship, the Copa Libertadores and the Brazilian Cup, and intends to fight for the conquest of all competitions. For the last five games it played in its stadium, if we take into account all the competitions that the team contests, it managed to score goals in at least three of those matches and in four of them it did not concede a goal. We believe that in this game, Cruzeiro will outdo its opponent, with enough defensive solidity and possibly again not to concede goals, while the offensive level should be able to score goals to the modest team of Sport.

Confirmed Lineup: Fábio, Egídio, Léo, Dedé, Lucas Romero, Henrique, Robinho, Lucas Silva, Giorgian De Arrascaeta, Rafinha, Sassá.

Analysis Sport

The away team is currently in the 8th position of the league, with 7 points won, after 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Paraná, by (1‑2). In the last match, they won in a home match against Bahia, by (2‑0). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 11 goals scored and 22 conceded; against 10 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses at their stadium, with 31 goals scored and 11 conceded. In the last 10 away matches Sport Recife has won 3, tied 4 and lost 3. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 3 of the last 4 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 3 of the last 4 matches for this competition. In the last 20 away matches for all competitions there are 2 periods that stand out: they have scored 5 of their 13 goals between minutes (76'‑90'); they have conceded 12 of their 32 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Sport is a team from Recife that was Brazilian champion in 1987 and the last title that it conquered in its history was the champion of Pernambuco in 2017. In this season of 2018, the team was in third place in the championship of Pernambuco and is in the eighth position of the Brazilian championship after four rounds. Sport should have great difficulties in the field of Cruzeiro, and if we look at the head-to-head history between the teams we see that in nine games between them at Cruzeiro's stadium, the home team won eight and Sport only one, therefore we believe that the story will repeat itself in this clash, in addition, Cruzeiro has a squad of great quality and will probably win this match.

Confirmed Lineup: Magrão, Cláudio Winck, Sander, Ronaldo Alves, Ernando, Neto Moura, Fellipe Bastos, Anselmo, Marlone, Rogério, Gabriel.
