Team News

Sport Recife
Ponte Preta
  • Gabriel Xavier is struggling with a foot problem and will be assessed before the match.
  • Rodney Wallace didn't train on Wednesday but is expected to be fit to play.
  • That means Daniel Paulista could name an unchanged XI.
  • Eduardo Baptista must make at least one change to his line-up here.
  • Striker Roger is suspended after picking up his third yellow card of the season.
  • William Pottker is likely to take his place in the side.

Prediction

  • Sport know that winning their home games could be enough to guarantee Série A survival despite their tragic away form.
  • This is the first of three winnable games at the Ilha do Retiro and they could go as high as 14th with a win.
  • Ponte haven't scored in their last three matches on the road, meaning the top six is becoming ever more distant.
