Sport Recife - Santa Cruz PE:
Quarterfinals of  Pernambucano State Tournament.
Very important meeting for Sport Recife!
Leone can not be considered completely satisfied with its progress, they have ranked third in the tournament with 17 points behind Nautico and Central leaders.
They arrive in this match after two consecutive draws against Salguiero and Santa Cruz himself, but when the games had already been made.
Important to know that this meeting will decide who will advance in the Pernambuco championship, you only dispute a match without the return, for the Sport Recife it is important to win!
This meeting is important for both teams.
In case of elimination, Santa Cruz must wait for Northeast Cup, until the start of the Serie C championship, as it was eliminated in the first phase of the Brazilian Cup.
Even worse, he was a Lion, in case of elimination he risks not playing for a month in the debut scheduled between April 14 and 16 in Brasilerao against America MG.
Sport Recife has the great advantage of playing at home on the Island of Retreat, in front of their fans, who will win a match between Central and America-PE.
The coach Nelsinho Baptista of Sport Recife, in this classic, can not count on the striker André, now everything is done for  transition to Gremio, only the details of the payment are missing.
The formation of tSport Recife should not make any changes, re-enter Thomás midfielder, the rest of the players are the same as the 1-1 draw in the Classic in the league.
On the other side we find the Santa Cruz, who enters the field motivated, after a series of ten games without losing.
In total, the Santa Cruz between the North-East Cup and the Pernambuco championship has collected six draws and four defeats.
Junior Rock coach will not be able to count on striker Héricles, he has a pubic lesion, he is in doubt. Vinícius can be his substitute.
