Betting on Sport Club do Recife
Sport Recife closed the regular phase in midweek with a 3-1 win over CSA and, as a result, it qualified for the quarterfinals as the best team in its group with a total of 19 points. In fact, it was one of the teams with the most victories, with six out of eight challenges. In addition, the team has been performing well either offensively and defensively, with 19 goals scored, and only five conceded.
It has not lost in eight games, while winning seven of those matches. Those results boosted its confidence for this match, especially knowing that it will be playing at home. In home matches, the positive streak extends to 25 matches without loss in all competitions. Actually, last defeat at home was on May 24, 2022 and precisely against its next opponent, CRB, by a score of 0-1.
Possible lineup (4-2-3-1): Renan; Ewerton, Chico, Sabino, Filipinho; Fábio Matheus, Pedro Victor Martins; Wanderson, Matheus Vargas, Facundo Labandeira; Gabriel Santos.
Betting on Clube de Regatas Brasil
CRB was not a very outstanding team in the group stage of the Copa Do Nordeste, but it was still enough to reach the quarterfinals with 13 points, the result of three wins, four draws and one loss.
It ended with a 3-0 loss to Bahia, ending a streak that began in November 2022 and included 18 matches without defeat in all competitions. Based on its away numbers in this competition, we find that it is not a reliable team in this condition, as it has not won any of its four away matches, with three draws and one defeat.
Possible lineup (4-3-3): Diogo Silva; Matheus Ribeiro, Gum, Fábio Alemão, Luiz Henrique; Auremir, João Paulo, Juninho Valoura; Renato, Gabriel Conceição, Mike.
JefeBet Prediction
Sport Recife’s impressive 10-month unbeaten run at home makes it the clear favorite to win and advance to the semifinals. CRB may try to put up a fight, but the idea that it can stop the best offense of the regular phase does not seem feasible. Therefore, at JefeBet, we predict a comfortable win for los Rojinegros.
Prediction: Sport Recife Moneyline (SPO 2-0 CRB)
