Avai take on the visitors Sport Recife at “Ressacada” in the gameweek four of the Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played in Florianopolis on Sunday, June 4th.
This season Avai return from the Serie B to the elite division of the Brazilian football. At the moment the side feels slightly uncomfortable at the highest clubs’ football level in Brazil. “Leaos da Ilha” failed to score even once in first rounds of the Serie A: vs. Vitoria 0:0, vs. Sao Paulo 0:2 and vs. Chapecoense-SC 0:2. As a result, Avai share the 17th-18th places in the standings with one point taken and 0-4 goal difference. In defense the team shows quite convincing football, while its offense is the complete disaster. In 2017 Avai conducted 13 encounters at their own turf resulting in five victories, four draws and four losses.

Sport Recife also demonstrated disappointing performance in recent matches: the side got two wins, four draws and four defeats in 10 clashes. After three rounds “Leaos” occupy the 12th position in the table of the Serie A with four points gained and 5-8 goal difference. In 2017 Sport Recife participated in 18 games on the road recording seven triumphs, three draws and eight losses in them.
Avai have not scored yet in this season’s Serie A and, taking into consideration Sport Recife’s play in defense this season, the hosts have great opportunity to break their streak without scored goals in Sunday clash. I believe that at least a few goals will be combined by the opponents in their head-to-heads as “Leaos” not only conceded many goals, but they also scored a lot.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 scored goals.
