Sport Recife
Sport Recife come into this all-Northeastern affair without a win in their last five league matches. They’ve now suffered four defeats on the spin and trail the safety positions by four points. Yes, it’s still early days, but they’ll need to start picking up points sooner rather than later.

They’re the only club in Brazil’s top flight yet to win. Last week, they took the lead—only to concede twice to Memphis Depay and fall to a 2-1 defeat away from home.

Fortaleza
Fortaleza are winless in their last five matches and will be keen to turn that around here. In midweek, they faced Colombian side Bucaramanga in the Copa Libertadores and had to settle for a 1-1 draw. They took the lead through Deyverson, only to concede a penalty a minute from time.

In their last league outing, despite creating the better chances, they fell to a 2-1 home loss to Palmeiras—a match that also featured a stoppage-time missed spot kick from Juan Lucero. It’s been a tough few weeks for Juan Pablo Vojvoda’s men, and they’ll be eager to find some rhythm again.

Prediction – Sport Recife 0-1 Fortaleza
