Preview
Sport Recife and Cruzeiro face at Estádio Adelmar da Costa Carvalho, in a match for the 24th round of the Serie A. In the last league head‑to‑head, played in 13‑05‑2018, Cruzeiro got a home win by (2‑0). In 8 head‑to‑heads in the last 3 years, the away team won 4, tied 3 and lost 1. Sport Recife registers significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth special attention.

Analysis Sport

After 6 wins, 5 draws and 12 losses, the home team is in the 17th position, havinf won 23 points so far. In the last match, they have lost in an away match against Bahia by (2‑0), after in the previous match they have won (1‑0) at home, against Paraná. 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 2 wins, 3 draws and 10 losses in away matches, with 9 goals scored and 26 conceded; against 7 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 23 goals scored and 13 conceded. In the last 10 home league matches Sport Recife has a record of 4 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses, so they have won 15 points out of 30 possible. In their home league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (5 out of 11 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 23 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 15 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Sport has won the Serie A of the Brazilian Championship once in the controversial year of 1987, as well as a Serie B title in 1990. In the current season, the team has been doing a very weak campaign, winning only 23 of the 69 points played so far by Serie B of the Brazilian Championship, being therefore in the relegation zone. In the last five games that Sport played at home, in four of them were scored less than 1.5 goals in the first half. We believe that in this confrontation the pattern will be repeated, much because of the defensive proposal that the opponent will come with and because Sport does not have a great attack.

Confirmed Lineup: Magrão, Sander, Ernando, Durval, Ronaldo Alves, Neto Moura, Andrigo, Marcão Silva, Marlone, Hernane, Rogério.
Coach: E. Alves Moreira.
