Sport Recife Preview – Can Sport Recife lift out of bottom four?
Following a six-match winless run in Serie A, Saturday’s hosts, Sport Recife, have slipped down into the bottom four and the relegation zone of the Brazilian top flight and they face a tough task against Fluminense despite being on home turf at their Estádio Adelmar da Costa Carvalho.
Defeats to Juventude, Corinthians and Palmeiras have far outweighed Sport Recife’s minimal success in gaining points in draws with Cuiaba, Santos and Atletico GO, while also gaining just one win to date so far this season.
That rare win came in the shape of a narrow 1-0 home win over basement dwellers, Gremio, but otherwise there’s been little to shout about for the home fans as Sport Recife have won just one of their last seven matches on home soil.
Fluminense Preview – Can Flu jump into top half?
Fluminense have been more stubborn than inspiring so far in this season’s Serie A campaign but nevertheless, the visitors have lost just two of their opening 10 matches and they’ll be in reasonably confident mood that they can get a result at Sport Recife on Saturday.
Losses to Atletico GO and Athletico PR have been Fluminense’s only slip-ups to date while also gaining wins against Cuiaba, Santos and most impressive of all, a 1-0 win over local rivals, Flamengo, in the ‘Flu-Fla’ derby.
With just one loss in their last nine away matches, Fluminense look a tough prospect for hosts, Sport Recife, in this one.
