Sport Recife will be looking for a win that will ensure they maintain their place in the top four of the Brazilian second division when they host Novorizontino on Monday evening.
The hosts Recide have had a dream start to the 2024 Serie B campaign. Mariano Soso’s side kick-off the campaign with four consecutive wins and kept a clean sheet twice, scoring ten goals in total. The Lions suffered three consecutive defeats after that, but they have kind of regained the momentum, with the team currently unbeaten in three matches.
Novorizontino meanwhile have had a mixed start to the campaign. The visitors have taken part in eleven games so far this season, but they sit four points below Sport Recife. However, Eduardo Baptista’s side have been difficult to beat lately, with the team losing just one of the last seven fixtures.
Sport Recife vs Novorizontino Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals
Although Sport Recife are having one of their best campaigns in this division, their attack line has plenty of things to work on. Soso’s men have not scored more than once in each of their last eight games across all competitions. Each of the last three ended with Under one goal and I don’t think Monday’s game will be different.
The absence of goals has been the major headline in the recent games of Novorizontino. Only one of their last six encounters produced more than one goal and Tigre do Vale’s recent meetings with Sport Recife were not also entertaining.
- Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals
- Sport Recife vs Novorizontino prediction: 1-0

Novorizontino team news
As for Novorizontino, Patrick is set to serve the second of his three match ban for the red card against Ponte Preta over a week ago.
Lucca will pushing for a start upfront after his goal off the bench last time out secured his side all three points and 34-year-old may well replace Fabrício Daniel de Souza who has scored only once this season.
