Competition: Brazil Serie B

Market: Sport Recife win

Odds: 7/10 @ BetUS

Hoping to extend their stay in the promotion places, Sport Recife will welcome Goias to the Ilha do Retiro late on Wednesday night.

Starting with the hosts, while Sport Recife might have signed off August in the midst of a minor blip, the Lions have come roaring back in an eye-catching fashion. Last seen over the weekend putting in another impressive display over the weekend as they secured a routine 2-0 victory at home against CRB, Pepa’s men will be looking to make another top-four statement here. Pencilled in as a leading contender to clinch a famous Serie A return this season, the former Al Ahil boss should find the mood in his camp at a continued high. Opening September with an action-packed 3-2 win against Ituano, the Pernambuco-based outfit have collected 10 points from their previous four Serie B appearances. Smelling another golden opportunity in midweek, Sport Recife will be excited by their extended success on home soil. Including another 3-2 victory against Amazonas last month, Papa’s camp have won four of their previous five showdowns in front of their own supporters.

As for the visitors, managing to make a much-welcomed return to winning ways over the weekend as they snatched a 2-1 victory at home against Avai, Goias will know the importance of finding some crucial stability. Facing a major uphill battle in the race to secure a top-four finish this season, the Big Green have largely failed to build on their impressive start to proceedings. Signing off August with a 1-0 loss at the hands of Ituano, Wednesday’s guests have won just a trio of their previous 11 appearances across all competitions – a run that stems back to July 21st. Likewise, failing to collect back-to-back Serie B victories since the start of May, Vagner Mancini’s side have also continued to show some glaring issues on the road. In fact, along with claiming just a single point away from the Estadio da Serrinha from their previous five attempts, they have also registered just a sole win on their travels since way back on May 5th.
