This game is likely to see Novorizontino dominate possession and push forward, while Sport Recife will probably sit deep and wait to counter. The visitors have stats that back this approach, as they have conceded just 22 goals in 24 league matches. The hosts, meanwhile, have scored 39 but also conceded 21. Both teams' last 5 matches show identical records of 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss, but the scorelines differ clearly. Novorizontino won big 4-1, 3-0, 4-1, while Sport Recife edged wins 1-0, 2-1, and recently thrashed 3-0 in their latest match. Possession numbers also suggest the hosts will have more attacking play, but the visitors' defense, which has lost only 4 of 24 matches, could keep the score close.
