The Serie A season is still fresh and sports bettors should be cautious. This meeting between Sport Recife and Santos promises to be an interesting one.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
These teams have little in common geographically as Santos have to travel 2700 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Sport Recife form and stats
Sport Recife have only played one Serie A game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 2 wins, 0 draws and 0 defeats from 2 matches. Nine out of nine points from the last three home games for Recife, and the home supporters are ready to scream their lungs out to keep the winning streak alive.
Recife shared the glory with Atlético GO in their last match, an away game that ended all square 1-1. Heartbreak before that as Recife lost 0-2 at Vasco da Gama's place.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Recife, as the Serie A home game vs São Paulo is only three days away.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Serie A trip to Palmeiras.
