Sport Recife and Fortaleza have met countless times in the past year, and Fortaleza have picked up wins almost every time they have shared the pitch. The most recent meeting on Jun 26 was a 2-1 Fortaleza win, but this time the context is different. Both have just come through a long, tiring Serie B schedule and must start again in a game where the points matter to both sides. Sport Recife have just beaten São Bernardo 2-1 at home in Serie B on Oct 7, while Fortaleza have just won 0-1 away at América Mineiro in Serie B on Oct 8. Both come in off a win in their latest match, so this is not a game where either side arrives out of form. If Sport Recife score first, the game is likely to slow down and become one where Fortaleza have to push forward more. But with the way Fortaleza tend to play solidly in the second half and have sharper finishing, this game looks likely to end close and not far apart.
