Seeking the second consecutive victory in the competition, Sport makes, this Friday (26), its home debut in Series B of the 2024 Brazilian Championship. From 7pm (Brasília time), Leão da Ilha hosts Vila Nova at Arena de Pernambuco, in São Lourenço da Mata (PE), for the 2nd round of the event.
After beating Amazonas away from home in their debut, 3-2, the team coached by Mariano Soso wants to maintain 100% success. And the record against the Goiás club weighs in their favor.
Sport’s last – and only – defeat to Vila in history was in Série B in 2004, 20 years ago. Since then, there have been seven wins and six draws, with 17 goals scored and only four conceded.

Questions and embezzlements
For this match, coach Mariano Soso has some doubts about the lineup. Striker Chrystian Barletta, who felt discomfort in his thigh during the match against Amazonas, could be left out of the relationship.
Midfielder Alan Ruiz should remain out, as he is treating a problem in his anterior thigh muscle. Midfielder Lucas Lima, recovered from low back pain, trained during the week and could return – the same is the case with midfielder Fábio Matheus. Defender Rafael Thyere should also be available after suffering from patellar tendonitis.

With the squad significantly revamped for Series B, Vila Nova is also looking for its second consecutive victory in the competition. In the first round, playing at OBA, in Goiânia (GO), they beat Guarani 2-0.
The only absence should be defender Guilherme Lacerda, signed on loan from São Bento. He arrived at Tigrão with a thigh injury and is in the recovery process.
