Analysis Sport

The home team comes to this 2nd round after having lost (3‑0) in the 1st round, in a match against América Mineiro. 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 3 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses in away matches; against 9 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses at their stadium. In the last 10 home matches Sport Recife has won 8, tied 1 and lost 1. Their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 4 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Sport already won the Brazilian Championship once in its history, in 1987 (despite the insistent fight in the courts between the team and Flamengo, both claiming the title that year). Last year, the team managed to escape from the relegation only in the last rounds, finishing the Brazilian Championship in 15th place, four points more than the first relegated team, Coritiba. This year, the team had an irregular campaign, finishing the Pernambucan championship in third, and made debut in the Brazilian Championship with a 3-0 defeat against America Mineiro. In its last five home games, in all of them were scored more than 1.5 goals. We believe that in this match, Sport, by playing at home, will play better than in the first round and will score goals.

Confirmed Lineup: Mailson, Raul Prata, Sander, Ronaldo Alves, Ernando, Neto Moura, Anselmo, Andrigo, Marlone, Gabriel, Rogério.
Coach: E. Alves Moreira.

Analysis Botafogo

The away team comes to this 2nd round after a (1‑1) draw in their league debut, against Palmeiras. This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 16 goals scored and 18 conceded; against 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 20 goals scored and 21 conceded. In the last 10 away matches Botafogo has won 5, tied 1 and lost 4. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 18 of the last 37 matches have ended with Under 1,5 goals and 25 out of 37 have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 7 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Botafogo is a team that has twice won the Brazilian championship and its last title won was the championship of Rio de Janeiro in 2018. The current champion of Rio has been trained by the young coach Alberto Valentin and has been presenting a good football, even in its debut at home with a 1-1 draw against Palmeiras, the team showed good football and now comes to the second round wanting to conquer its first victory. We believe that Botafogo will make a good start and will not be retreated, most likely will control the game and seek goals, so this game has great chances of having more than 1.5 goals, because historically all the last seven clashes between the teams had more than 1.5 goals scored. We believe that this pattern can repeat.

Confirmed Lineup: Roberto Fernández, Igor Rabello, Gilson, Marcinho, Joel Carli, Matheus Fernandes, Gustavo Bochecha, Rodrigo Lindoso, Leonardo Valencia, Brenner, Rodrigo Pimpão.
Coach: L. Ribeiro de Castro.
