Sport Recife were relegated from serie A last year and was one of the favorites to be promoted, at the beginning of the competition, however, did not make a good preparation and suffered earlier this season. After the resignation of the coach and some players, the board finally agreed hiring Geninho, who in charge of the team has an excellent record of 8 wins, 4 draws and just one defeat. Also the board signed with quality players like Marcelinho Paraiba, former Sao Paulo, Germano, former Santos, and just hired Romerito, idol of the club, which came from Goiás and could make his debut today. 2 missings, Renato and Dutra, but not important ones.
Fighting against Relegation
America-RN is fighting against relegation and got some hope by winning the last two matches, but those games were at home. In their last away game, they were defeated by America-MG (4-1). America-MG had many chances to win by a score more elastic but missed some chances. The defense of the America-NT showed weakness in this game. 4 missings: 2 right defenders and the left defender, the last is a long term injury. The other is the midfielder Esley, first team player.
Sport to confirm the favoritism
Sport Recife plays against American-NT and then against Ipatinga, last-place, at home too. After this has direct confrontations against opponents from the top of the table, what makes these two games, more importants. In addition, the striker Ciro will complete 100 games, which should bring an extra incentive to the him. What makes me think that the Sport will be able to win by more than 1 goal is that the America-NT desperately need the victory to escape relegation. If Sport break the defense soon, America will launch in front as well as against America-MG, and will leave the defense exposed. The quality difference between the teams is evident.
