Bitesize Prediction: Sport Recife vs Paysandu – 11/06/24

Competition: Brazil Serie B

Market: Over 1.5 goals

Odds: 1/2 @ 1xBet

Looking to extend on their recent flurry, Paysandu will travel to the Ilha do Retiro in the early hours of Tuesday when they meet Sport Recife.

Starting with the hosts, while Sport Recife might have opened up the 2024 campaign with their sights set on mounting another promotion charge, the Lions are in the midst of a real struggle. Last seen putting in another downbeat performance as they slumped to a routine 3-0 drumming away at Goias, Mariano Soso’s men have the feel of a squad seeking a much-needed boost. Crashing out of the Copa do Nordeste on May 26th as they fell to a 4-1 defeat at home against Serie A outfit Fortaleza, the former San Lorenzo boss has seen his squad lose four of their previous five appearances across all competitions. With their recent issues underlined by a 2-1 loss against Avai last month, Sport Recife have continued to show some extended issues at the back. Along with shipping seven goals in their last two consecutive appearances, Tuesday’s hosts have recorded just a single clean sheet in front of their own supporters since a 2-0 victory against Vila Nova on April 26th.

As for the visitors, although Paysandu might have opened up the 2024 campaign at the heart of their own second-tier struggle, the Wolfs have come roaring back in an impressive fashion. Last seen putting in another eye-catching performance as they secured a 2-0 victory at home against America MG, Helio Anjos’ men are unbeaten in all of their previous six appearances across all competitions. With that run stemming back to a 2-1 loss at the hands of Mirassol on May 12th, the one-time Saudi Arabia boss could be smelling the chance to make another statement here. Finding a recent clinical edge in the final third and storming their way to a stunning 6-0 romp against Vila Nova last month, Paysandu have registered 12 goals in just their previous four appearances. Likewise, it should also be noted, with Tuesday’s guests seeing six of their last seven outings finish with over 1.5 goals, we are expecting a similar outcome from the Ilha do Retiro.

Bet: Over 1.5 goals at Sport Recife vs Paysandu 1/2 for Tuesday’s Brazil Serie B battle @ 1xBet
