Sport Recife – the shape of the team and its analysis: it seems that the club does not intend to remain in the Serie B
“The Lions” failed to return to the top division last season. Then they were only seventh in the final Serie B table. Still, now they just got off to a 100% start – the team beat everyone, having previously won the state championship. Then there were defeats made by Ituano and Avai, which hit the positions immediately. And the cup tournament brought a 0-2 score on the away field.

“The Roosters” quickly solved their problems in the Copa Libertadores, winning 4 times in a row. As a result, they lost in the 4th round there (a failure in the battle against Peñarol). Speaking about the Brasileiro, the results of the representative of Belo Horizonte were more modest: there were no defeats at the start, but, having won the games against Cruzeiro and Cuiaba, the club tied in the struggles with Corinthians, Criciuma and Fluminense. After a forced pause caused by the elements, it is possible to compete only now – the Serie A confrontations with Gremio and Bahia have been postponed.
