Football – Brazil – Serie A Betting Tips
Sport Recife will be looking to bounce back with a win tonight when they take on Brazilian Serie A basement club, Atletico GO, when they entertain at their Estádio Adelmar da Costa Carvalho, following defeat last time out at surprise package Botafogo.
A 2-1 defeat to the sixth placed side ended a useful four-match winning streak for tonight’s hosts as they’d lifted themselves up into Copa Libertadores reckoning with recent wins chalked up over Santos, Atletico PR, Coritiba and Chapecoense.
They’ll now be pressing for a top six berth when they take on struggling Atletico GO, as they look to further improve upon their already solid home record of 4-2-1 12/7, with striker Andre (6 goals) looking the most likely as an anytime goalscorer for the home side here.
A trip to Sport Recife who are pushing for a top six place would be bad enough for bottom club, Atletico GO, but when you’ve recently sold your leading goalscorer to Mexican club Queretaro (Everaldo 5 goals), then the odds of taking something from this clash drastically lengthen!
Atletico GO sit four points adrift of second from bottom Vitoria coming into this match, and having now gone seven matches without a win in Serie A, a run which includes five defeats, they’re likely to have their work cut out this evening.
Throw in a very poor away record of 0-1-5 3/13, and you can see why they find themselves in their current predicament, as well as failing to score in four of their six away matches to date this season.
Should be a comfortable home win here…
