Sport Recife and Fortaleza meet on Saturday, Oct 17 at 5:00 PM in the Serie B.
Sport Recife come into this fixture drawing too many games (3D in last 5). Fortaleza travel in mixed form (2W 0D 3L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
Despite playing at home, Sport Recife face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Fortaleza have won 6 of 10 encounters, with 3 draws. Their last encounter ended in Sport Recife won 0–1.
Verdict: The gulf in league position makes Sport Recife clear favorites, but Fortaleza have shown they can grind out results. Expect Sport Recife to take the points, potentially without being at their best.
