Coritiba vs Sport Recife tips and predictions

Anticipated Serie B battle likely to be close

There's not much between Coritiba and Sport Recife in the Serie B. The hosts are in seventh place with 4 points, compared to their opponents who are in second place on 6 points.

All outcomes are in the runnning here so take care when assessing this one. A goalless stalemate is the pick but it's certainly not something to go mad about.

Both of these sides have looked strong in defence. It's commendable that Coritiba haven't conceded during their most recent 3 home matches, while Sport Recife have only conceded 0.6 goals per game on average in their last 8 away matches.

In previous matches between these sides 3 of the last 6 have ended with parity.

The match could turn into a war of attrition with the two sides ultimately being well matched. It's not a strong view and it won't be for everyone, but the No BTTS bet seems fair enough.

Coritiba have drawn 3 of their last 5 matches on their own soil while Sport Recife have drawn 5 of their last 12 matches. To wrap this up there is nothing to like about the home or away win odds, so the draw warrants consideration. Deadlock is the pick after what looks set to be a close encounter.
