Spot Recife are another Serie A side, who would definitely want to improve their results in the league matches. The team had quite solid start but now they are simply falling apart. Sport Recife have only 15 points after 15 matches with 23-26 goal difference and occupy 17th place in the league. The visiting side have problems in games on the road, recording only one win in eight matches with one draw and six defeats and 6-12 goal difference.
Cruzeiro are quite successful in matches with Sport Recife, avoiding defeats of conceded goals in last four head-to-heads. On the other hand, both teams are in poor conditions and allow quite number of goals in each match, struggling to gain points. At the same time, the opponents average over one goal per league match and we should expect the team to combine at least three goals in this game.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals.
