Key Factors to Consider

The home advantage for Sport Recife at Ilha do Retiro may mitigate this somewhat, but Internacional's superior form and higher league placement give them a competitive edge.
- No specific injury data is available from the current sources, but monitoring last-minute squad updates is recommended as injuries could impact lineup decisions.
- The match is played at Sport Recife's home stadium, Ilha do Retiro, which may provide a motivational boost for the hosts. Weather conditions and fan attendance with promotional ticket sales suggest a lively atmosphere benefiting the home side.
- Sport Recife aims to improve their league standing by capitalizing on home advantage, while Internacional seeks to maintain or improve their mid-table position and build momentum for upcoming fixtures in national and continental competitions.
