It’s been all too rare in recent times where Sport Recife have shown defensive steel. In fact, Leão da Ilha have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, giving up 13 goals during that time. That trend won’t necessarily be continued into this match, though.

• are without an away win for the past 4 matches in the league.
