Sport Recife desperately need points on Saturday, Sep 5 at 5:00 PM in the Serie B. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Ceara come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 2D 1L). Sport Recife travel drawing too many games (4D in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Despite playing at home, Ceara face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Sport Recife have won 5 of 10 encounters, with 3 draws. Their last encounter ended in Ceara won 0–2.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Ceara a slight edge, but Sport Recife are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
