Sport need to turn away form around to dream of the G-6

Sport must improve their form away from Recife to keep dreaming of promotion: they are only the 11th-best visitors in Série B and play their next two games on the road, against Botafogo-SP and Operário-PR. By the Gato Mestre calculations, three more wins are needed to reach 63 points.

O Sport tem um problema específico para resolver nesta reta final de Série B: o desempenho longe do Recife. Apenas o 11º melhor visitante da competição, o Rubro-Negro precisa melhorar esses números para seguir sonhando com o acesso — e vai encarar os dois próximos jogos nessa condição.

A série fora começa no sábado, diante do Botafogo-SP, e tem sequência em 6 de novembro, frente ao Operário-PR. Depois disso, a conta fica mais clara.

Pelos cálculos do Gato Mestre, são necessárias mais três vitórias para chegar aos 63 pontos que asseguram o G-6 ao término da fase classificatória. O Sport é hoje o 7º, com 54 pontos, depois de vencer o Criciúma na rodada.

O curioso é que o time tem aproveitamento como mandante pior do que todos os clubes do G-6 e até do que algumas equipes abaixo dele na tabela. Como visitante são cinco vitórias, cinco empates e sete derrotas; ainda assim, o time soma quatro pontos nos dois últimos jogos fora.

Em São João del Rei, bateu o Athletic-MG por 2 a 1; em Goiânia, ficou no 1 a 1 com o Atlético-GO. O grupo se reapresenta nesta segunda-feira no CT José de Andrade Médicis para iniciar a preparação. O zagueiro Marcelo Ajul retorna após suspensão, e Mariano Soso pode contar com todo o grupo.
