Sport Recife form and stats

Sport Recife have played 11 Serie A games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-0-6 (wins-draws-losses). Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Recife with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Ceara game, 34 days ago, have they avoided a loss. The Recife manager J. Ribeiro Ventura might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

Recife lost their last game at São Paulo (placed 1st) after a 0-1 scoreline. A defeat was the result before that one, 2-4 away at Santos.

Recife's goalkeeper Luan Polli was extremely busy against São Paulo, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning six saves.

Recife has scored 12 league goals at home this season, in 11 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Recife's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 15 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Coritiba's last game was the home draw against Bragantino (0-0). A 0-1 loss hosting Corinthians before that.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Coritiba have scored 14 goals in 12 league games away. Coritiba's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 23 goals from these trips.
