- Location: Estádio da Ilha do Retiro
Game Overview
Sport Recife hosts Internacional in matchday 10 of the Campeonato Brasileiro 2025. The game takes place at Ilha do Retiro, a stadium where Sport traditionally has strong support. Internacional comes into the match as the reigning Campeonato Gaúcho champions and with a balanced run in Brasileirão, while Sport is aiming to leverage home advantage to climb the table.
Key Factors to Consider
- Internacional: Recent Campeonato Gaúcho champions, solid in Brasileirão (mid-table), with Alan Patrick as leading scorer (9 goals all competitions). Sport Recife: Reliant on home strength, inconsistent in league, fighting to avoid relegation zone.
- Historically, matches between these sides have been closely contested. Internacional usually has a slight edge in quality, but Sport Recife can be dangerous at home.
- No major injury news available at this time for either team.
- Sport Recife is promoting special ticket deals, suggesting high local interest and potential for a lively atmosphere. International travel and fixture congestion could be a small factor for Internacional, who have a Libertadores match just three days later.
- Sport Recife is motivated to secure points at home to climb out of the lower positions. Internacional is looking to maintain or improve their league standing while managing a packed schedule.

| Over/under | Over: 2.25 100, Under: 2.25 -120 | Under 2.25 goals is more likely, as both teams have defensive focus and home/away records suggest limited high-scoring matches. | 70% (for under) |
