Recife had excellent last season but the team is failing in this season, having gained only 12 points after 13 matches played with negative 18-22 goal difference and sit on 18th place of Serie A standings. The last two matches ended with defeats to Vitoria, 2-3, and Palmeiras, 1-2. The team shows quite disappointing results on the road with only four points gained in seven matches and 5-10 goal difference. They are failing to win in their last four matches on the road.
Recife have advantage in the head-to-heads between the teams in recent years as they are undefeated in last six clashes with Ponte Preta starting 2010. These six matches ended with three draws and three wins of today’s visitors. However, they are clearly in their worst conditions in many years and show poor football in defense, allowing number of goals this season. We can expect defensive lines of both sides to allow numerous mistakes and that should lead to a high-scoring result in the match.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals.
