- Sport Recife have the fewest conceded goals (2) in Serie B
- CRB have the most conceded goals (13) in Serie B
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Sport Recife form and stats
As mentioned below, Sport Recife are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 3 Serie B games. Sport Recife are on a three game winning streak in their home games.
The Recife goalkeeper Mailson Tenorio dos Santos is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 272 minutes without conceding a goal in the Serie B.
Sport Recife shared the glory with Novorizontino in their last match, an away game that ended all square 0-0. The Sport Recife goalkeeper Mailson was crucial in the match against Novorizontino last time out, making six saves. Mailson, who guards the goal, was given a match rating of 8.21 out of 10 in that game. Mailson topped it up with a clean sheet.
A strong away win before that one, visiting Chapecoense and winning 1-0.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Recife have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 9 games) they have won 4 times, drawn 3 and lost 2.
The Sport Recife fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches.

The story so far for the visiting team, who have the most conceded goals (13) in Serie B, on their Serie B travels is 0 wins, 0 draws and 4 defeats. Bitter travels for CRB as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the ASA match.
CRB go into this game after a win, the home game against Londrina that ended 1-0. Goalkeeper Silva got the top player rating of the team with 7.71/10. Silva topped it up with a clean sheet.
Preceding that game, the 0-3 loss visiting Criciuma's place.We have checked recent matches where CRB have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 12 games were 2 victories, 2 draws and 8 defeats.
