Recent Head-to-Head Record Points to a Low-Scoring Game
Sport Recife and Cuiaba both come into this game with limited attacking momentum, and recent meetings between the sides have generally been low-scoring. With both teams struggling for consistency, the under on goals looks the sensible pick.
By 7MTHScore StaffSport Recife lined up in a 4-4-1-1 in their last league match, with Pedro Parroti leading the line, Diego Hernandez supporting as the attacking midfielder, and Tiago Couto in goal. Pedro Parroti gave them the lead midway through the first half, but Sport Recife could not hold on and conceded late, eventually dropping points.
Cuiaba used a 4-1-4-1 in their previous league game, with Fabio Gomes up front and Janderson Dias plus Rodrigo Rodrigues attacking from the flanks in an effort to create chances. Cuiaba failed to score throughout the match and then conceded midway through the second half, losing 1-0 and coming away empty-handed.
Sport Recife have no reported injuries or suspensions for this match. Cuiaba are without forward Hernandez through injury, while they have no suspensions.
Sport Recife drew 1-1 away to Goias in their last league outing, making it three straight league draws. They have also lacked a decisive edge at home, so a cautious approach is expected again here. Cuiaba lost 0-1 at home to Atletico Goianiense in their last league match, extending their losing run in the league without scoring. Their away form has been inconsistent and their attack has not looked reliable.
The recent head-to-head record points to a low-scoring contest. In the last five meetings, each side has one win, with the other three matches ending level. Their most recent meeting finished 0-0, and that match produced only one corner. Given both teams' ordinary form, the lean here is toward under on total goals.
