Team News

Sport Recife
Atletico MG
  • Cláudio Winck and Neto Moura are injury doubts for this match.
  • Both were forced off in the victory over Palmeiras at the weekend.
  • Sport have an issue if Winck doesn't make it, because his direct replacement, Raul Prata, is suspended.
  • Thiago Largi welcomes midfield dynamo Elias back after suspension.
  • He will also be hoping Ricardo Oliveira is fit to lead the line in Recife.
  • The veteran striker was left out at the last minute against Flamengo at the weekend.

Prediction

  • Sport are one of Série A's most consistently confounding teams – capable of the sublime and the ridiculous, often in the same game.
  • Not many people would have given them a snowball's chance in hell away to Palmeiras at the weekend, but the Lions conjured a 3-2 win and are now just three points off the summit.
  • But they could feel the full force of Atlético Mineiro's frustration, after the Galo squandered chances and then conceded a late goal to Flamengo.
