Sport Recife and Criciúma meet in Serie B with each side having just come through a match that ended in opposite ways. Sport Recife have just lost at home to Fortaleza 0-2 in Serie B on 17 Oct., while Criciúma travelled to beat São Bernardo 1-0 in Serie B on 18 Oct. That leaves the hosts needing to steady themselves at home, while the visitors are buoyed by their latest away result. Sport Recife's recent form still shows cracks. They managed only a 1-1 draw with Atlético GO in Serie B on 11 Oct. before losing at home in their latest match. Criciúma, meanwhile, have won their last two in Serie B following a 0-1 defeat to Ceará on 9 Oct. Their defence has looked calmer lately and they carry less pressure over points than the hosts. This game is likely to take a shape where Sport Recife have to push the play because they are at home, but Criciúma are comfortable sitting back and waiting for the counter. If the visitors score first, the game will force the hosts to push even higher, and the space behind may open up more and more.
