Sport Recife hosts Internacional in round 16 of Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played on Thursday, October 15th at Estádio Ilha do Retiro (Recife)
The Lions generally held a good season. And there were even three victories in a row at the junction of September and October. However, Sport Recife has already lost that drive. It had no chance in the away match with Flamengo - the Lions conceded three unanswered goals by the 60th minute. Fans hoped their favorites would get revenge in the home game with Botafogo on Sunday night. But the visitors managed to score twice before halftime. In the 56th minute, Thiago Neves seemed to revive the intrigue. But, as it turned out later, this goal was the only achievement of Sport Recife. After these two defeats in a row, the team dropped to the middle of the standings (9th place). Will it be possible to quickly get out of this "hole" and return to the group of leaders?

The Reds rolled back from third to 7th place in the past season. Now they manage to combine good performances in Copa Libertadores with a successful fight in Serie A. In the international arena, Internacional practically guaranteed itself a place in the playoffs (eight points scored after five rounds). But, most importantly, the team manages to fight for the title in Brasileirao. Since mid-September, there have been two defeats in a row and four rounds without victories. But Internacional has already got out of this recession. First, the Reds managed to beat Bragantino away (2-0). And last weekend, Colorados gained three points in the match with Athletico Paranaense due to a good start. 19-year-old defender Eitor showed himself as an assistant in that game. He made an assist to Thiago Gallardo already in the seventh minute. And after half an hour, he helped Abel Hernandez to score. The visitors quickly responded with their first goal, but the match ended in favor of the hosts (2-1).
Now Internacional looks much better, but is it ready to change the history of head-to-head meetings? I will recall that the team that hosts the opponent at its stadium usually wins. Nevertheless, the visitors have gained very good shape, and I think they will have more chances of success.
Prediction for the match: Internacional to win with 0.0 handicap
