Palmeiras managed to win only once in last five matches of the season. That unlucky streak brought “Porcos” away from the leading trio and they are currently sitting on the sixth place in the standings with 23 points taken. The weak spot of Palmeiras is their performance on the road: the team got seven points with nine goals for and 13 goals against in eight away clashes.
It is difficult to name the leader in the pair Sport Recife vs. Palmeiras as the rivals rotated triumphs by turn both at the home turf and at away ground. Taking into consideration “Leaos”’ competitive form as well as the home-field advantage, plus “Porcos”’ disability to demonstrate solid football on the road, the hosts are seemed to be the favourites of the forthcoming battle and should extend their series of encounters with points taken.
Prediction for the match: Sport Recife to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
