Brasileiro strugglers Sport Recife will continue their battle against relegation when they host Atletico Goianiense on Sunday.
Leao are 18th in the table with nine games left to play, while Dragao are ninth and pursuing a Copa Libertadores spot.
Match preview
Sport Recife can welcome back captain Marcao and centre-back Sabino after the pair were suspended against Red Bull Bragantino.
Leandro Barcia remains out injured, so Paulinho and Everton Felipe will battle for the starting spot on the right wing.
Mikael is Sport’s top scorer this season with just three goals, but he has not netted in his last five matches.
Willian Maranhao‘s 90th-minute yellow card in Atletico Goianiense’s win over Gremio means that he is banned for this match.
Eduardo Souza will have Dudu and Matheus Barbosa available though, with the pair having recovered from injuries.
No goalkeeper in the Brasileiro has kept more clean sheets than Fernando Miguel (12) this season.
Sport Recife possible starting lineup:
Mailson; Ewerthon, Thyere, Sabino, Sander; Marcao, Welison; Paulinho, Gustavo, Juba; Mikael
Atletico Goianiense possible starting lineup:
Miguel; Dudu, Wanderson, Eder, Carius; Freitas, Barbosa; Janderson, Luis, Ronald; Roberto
