Match Preview
Sport Recife hosts Botafogo at the Estádio Adelmar da Costa Carvalho in a crucial Serie A clash on Sunday. Sport Recife's recent form has been inconsistent, with three draws in their last five matches (DWD). They will be looking to leverage home advantage to secure vital points. In contrast, Botafogo arrives with a solid run, having won three of their last five (LLWWW), which could boost their confidence heading into this fixture. Historically, matches between these two sides have been competitive, with both teams winning four times in their last ten encounters. Notably, the trend of both teams scoring (BTTS) has been prevalent, occurring in six of those matches. Given Sport Recife's struggles to keep clean sheets and Botafogo's attacking prowess, backing BTTS at odds of 2.1 could be a prudent choice. Additionally, with the odds for over 2.5 goals at 2.35, the potential for a high-scoring affair is also worth considering.
