Sport Recife’s tough patch of results in the Brazilian top flight continued last time out in Serie A with a 3-1 loss away from home at Atletico Mineiro which extended the upcoming hosts’ winless run to four games while the bigger picture shows Daniel Paulista’s side have now managed to pick up just one win from their last nine matches.
That rare highlight came courtesy of a 1-0 home win against Corinthians but four draws along with being dealt four defeats within this period have resulted in Sport Recife remaining anchored to bottom place in the Serie A table.
Indeed, recent losses to Palmeiras, Vasco da Gama, Fortaleza and Atletico Mineiro have left Sport Recife a significant 12 points adrift of safety.
Ceara sit mid-table in 10th place in the Serie A table and therefore occupy one of the qualification spots for next season’s Copa Sudamericana prior to this midweek trip to the Ilha do Retiro to take on a floundering Sport Recife outfit.
The visitors picked up all three points last time out in the domestic top flight by virtue of recording a comprehensive 3-0 home win against Santos, resulting in just two losses in their last eight matches overall in Serie A.
Previous victories gained over Bragantino and Sao Paulo along with picking up points in three draws should give Ceara plenty of encouragement for this upcoming encounter especially as the visitors have lost just once in their last four away games.
The Betting Verdict
Ceara have won the last two meetings on the trot against Sport Recife and the visitors look a promising prospect with the handicap in this upcoming tussle as well.
The Pick :
Sport Recife 0-1 Ceara
