Sport Recife take on the visitors Ponte Preta in the round 10 match of Brazilian Serie B. The match will be played on Wednesday, June 1st at Estádio Ilha do Retiro (Recife).
Sport Recife clearly sets itself the task of returning to the top division of the country. The Lions have recently shown a tendency to increasingly test the nerves of the fans with farewells to Serie A. The last time it was in 2019, however, then the team was able to immediately take 2nd place, which was enough to return to Brasileirao. Obviously, they want to do the same trick now. It is too early to make conclusions how this is working out, but it is clear that they hoped for something more. There are many victories, but they are mixed with draws and even defeats. And the last 2 rounds brought only 1 point. However, it is not necessary to become a leader here, it is enough to finish in the top quartet. There are great chances for this.

Ponte Preta gradually turned into a mid-table side of Serie B. "Macaque" over the past decade and a half spent only 5 years in the "elite" - first in 2012-2013, then, after a minimal pause, back in 2015-2017. But then, finishing 19th, they bogged down in the lower league of the country. At first, they came to finish line in 5th place, but then they rolled back to the middle of the table. And now the start was even worse than in previous years. The team represents a serious force in its arena - both victories and 8 points were taken there. For comparison, Ponte Preta almost never scores on away fields, and so far has taken only 1 draw, with Guarani, with 3 defeats. Not surprisingly, in the end, the representative of Campinas is now at the bottom of the table. And, most importantly, they minimally ahead those who are located in the relegation zone.
The last time the sides crossed was in 2019, when Sport Recife was relegated to Serie B. Then the Lions scored 4 out of 6 points with Ponte Preta: 2-2 away, 2-1 at home. Sport Recife does not shine, but plays at home with a convenient opponent. We bet on the victory of the home team
Prediction for the match: Sport Recife to win.
