An important duel in the bottom section of the Brasileiro U20, with both Sport Recife U20 and Bahia U20 experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 14th and the visitors in 18th place.
It's no vacation for neither Recife nor Bahia U20 as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Sport Recife U20 form and stats
Sport Recife U20, who have the fewest scored goals (4) in Brasileiro U20, have played 4 Brasileiro U20 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 1-0-3 (wins-draws-losses). It's trouble wherever Sport Recife U20 are playing these days as they have suffered five straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. Three consecutive losses here at Estádio Adelmar da Costa Carvalho is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 537 minutes without scoring a league goal. Italo was the last player to find the net.
A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Recife, who played 1-1 against Avai U20 (after extra-time, 3-4 on penalties). That match was also played at this venue (Estádio Adelmar da Costa Carvalho). Before that game, the home loss against Fluminense U20 with the scoreline 0-2.
Recife are traveling soon after this match as the Brasileiro U20 match at Sao Paulo U20 awaits in four days.
The lack of attacking qualities in Recife means that they have only scored 1 goal in 4 league home games, less than half a goal per match. On the other hand, Recife have conceded 4 goals.
Bahia U20 form and stats

After this away game Bahia return home for a Brasileiro U20 game against Vasco U20. That game is only four sleeps after this.
