Flamengo
This game is a rescheduled match following the meeting between these two sides getting postponed earlier in the season. Sport Recife welcome high flying Flamengo to the Itaipava Arena Pernambuco. Flamengo are currently a team hot in form having only lost once in their previous eight games. They are chasing the top spot in the Serie A as them and Palmerias are neck and neck on 68 points. Sport Recife on the other hand could be confirmed as the first team to be relegated from the league if they fail to beat Flamengo. They are pretty much all but down because they are 18 points away from safety with six games to go, meaning they'd need to win all their remaining games with everyone around them not picking up a point.
Key Betting Tip: BTTS - No at 1.60 odds represents excellent value based on the tip provided by our team of in-house tipsters.
Sport Recife Predicted XI: Gabriel, Alexandre, Ramon, Thyere, Carius, Pablo, Oliveira, Kal, Lima, Romarinho, Ramierez
Following their 4-2 defeat last time out to Altetico-MG some rotation should be made by head coach Cesar Lucena who is taking charge of just his second game for Sport Recife
Flamengo Predicted XI: Rossi, Lucas, Pereira, Danilo, Emerson, Pulgar, Niguez, Lino, De Arrascaeta, Araujo, Henrique
A lot of absentees for Flamengo due to the international break, a total of six players will be missing for the Brazlian giants.
Flamengo are second only on wins to Palmeiras. Flamengo have 20 wins but Palmeiras have 21, so a little different to how you traditionally seperate teams on the same points They are comfortably in the Copa Libertadores places and will be hoping to push for the title with six games to go. Sport Recife are on the brink of relegation after only amassing 17 points from their 32 games, only scrapping two wins all season so far.
The last time the two sides met was only nine days ago, Flamengo dominated with a 3-0 win, even picking up a red card late on, Sport Recife never challanged them

Lucas Lima (Sport Recife): The attacking midfielder has been the teams main threat in attack, with the ability to play on the right wing and deeper in the midfield. 27 matches played this season for the 35 year old has contributed three goals and four assists in the season.
Giorgian De Arrascaeta (Flamengo): Arguably the best player in the whole league. The Uruguayan has contributed on average a goal or assist every game he's played, 30 matches, 17 goals and 13 assists is quite phenomenal.
