Team News

Sport Recife
Athletico Paranaense
  • Paulinho and Hernane return from bans, but Sport will be without Jose Welison and Marcão.
  • A mix of fringe and youth players are expected to be used here, as Athletico have an eye on Sunday's Brazilian Cup final first-leg.

Prediction

  • The match here is a dead-rubber for both sides as Sport Recife have already been relegated and Athletico PR have secured Copa Libertadores qualification via winning the Copa Sudamericana.
  • Sport will be hoping to end the season three games unbeaten after they enjoyed a 1-0 victory away at Chapecoense last time out.
  • Athletico have a Brazilian Cup final to look forward to on Sunday and are likely to take the foot off the gas. In their last outing, Athletico drew 0-0 with a youthful Palmeiras side.
