Sport Recife

DLDLLL 📉

Sport Recife will be hoping to return to winning ways here following a 3-0 Serie A defeat in their last game at the hands of Flamengo.

In that match, Sport Recife managed 32% possession and 4 shots on goal with 2 of them on target. On the other side, Flamengo had 24 shots on goal with 11 of them on target. Henrique (51', 60') and Giorgian de Arrascaeta (67') scored for Flamengo.

It has not been often in recent times where Sport Recife have kept a clean sheet. It will be a concern for them that Sport Recife have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 6 of their previous 6 clashes, shipping 12 goals during that time.

Taking a look at their past results, Sport Recife:

• have not won against Juventude in their last 2 league games.
• haven’t won at home in the past 3 league games.

Juventude

LLLWLL

Following on from tasting defeat last time out to Palmeiras in Serie A competition, Juventude will be aiming to make amends here.

In that match, Juventude had 51% possession and 12 shots at goal with 10 on target. For their opponents, Palmeiras got 14 shots on goal with 5 on target. Rodrigues (24') and Anderson (61') scored for Palmeiras.

It is worth noting that Juventude have suffered from a lack of goals over their last six encounters, netting the poor return of only 4. In those matches, Juve have also seen the collective goal aggregate of opposing teams equal 10. Nevertheless, time will tell if that trend might persist here in this match.

Going into this one, Juventude are without an away win for the past 5 league matches.

👥 Head to head

Checking on their most recent head-to-head clashes stretching back to 02/12/2007 shows that Sport Recife have won 2 of these games and Juventude 3, with the number of draws standing at 1.

🗞️ Team News: Juventude

Juventude boss Thiago Carpini has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Gilberto (muscular problems), Emerson Galego (Injury to the ankle), Natã (Hamstring injury), Mandaca (Adductor injury) and Lucas Fernandes (muscular problems) are not ready for selection.

🔮 Prediction

We feel that Juventude could find themselves struggling to put one past this Sport Recife side who we reckon should be able to grind out a win.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a hard-fought contest, finishing with a 1-0 win for Sport Recife after 90 minutes.

We’ll see what happens.
