**Brasil rolls into Maceió as the form pick**, but Sport are scrappy enough to make this a proper scrap in the Série B trenches. 🔥

Brasil's won three of their last five and just beat América-MG at home—they've got **momentum** on their side. Sport, though, have been wobbling with three losses in five; they'll need to lock down defensively and hit on the counter if they want anything here.

Key storylines:

- **Thiaguinho and Clayson** will be the attacking fulcrums—whoever gets more space in the final third probably decides this
- **Brasil's midfield trio of D. Belmonte, Crystopher, and P. Castro** needs to control tempo; Sport's **Zé Gabriel and W. Oliveira** will press hard to disrupt
- H2H is dead even over nine games (4-3-2), so history says this is coin-flip stuff

Expected lineups:

- **Clube De Regatas Brasil**: V. Caetano, Reverson, Bressan, Lyncon, Kevin, D. Belmonte, Crystopher, P. Castro, Mikael, Danielzinho, Thiaguinho
- **Sport Recife**: T. Couto, Felipinho, M. Ajul, K. Almeida, Claudinho, Zé Gabriel, W. Oliveira, Diego Hernández, Clayson, C. Barletta, Perotti

Prediction:

**Brasil 2-1 Sport.** Form advantage edges it for the home side, but expect Sport to stay compact and hunt one on the break. 📍
