Match Prediction: Sport Recife vs Operário
The "Island Lions" often manage to break into Serie A or at least fight for promotion. Last season, they narrowly missed out, finishing seventh and just one point behind Atlético Goianiense, who ultimately returned to the Brasileirão. The "Country Phantom" spent last season in the third division but earned enough points to return, finishing third in their league.
The newly promoted side has held its own so far and still has a chance to fight for a second consecutive promotion. However, they alternate between wins and losses, remaining just outside the coveted top four. Their recent 0-0 draw against Botafogo-SP felt more like a missed opportunity than a point gained. Sport Recife has improved, particularly after their three-game losing streak in late summer—since then, they haven't lost a match. Notably, they beat league leaders Novorizontino 3-1 in an away match.
Sport Recife boasts a solid attack, averaging 1.28 goals per game, and their defense is strong as well, conceding just 0.93 goals on average. In contrast, Operário has a more conservative goal ratio, scoring 0.86 and conceding 0.83 goals per match.
