View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
BTTS landed in 67% of Athletic Club matches and 60% of Sport Recife matches, both above the league average of 48%. The hosts score an average of 1.73 goals at home and have not failed to score, while the visitors concede an average of 1.13 goals away. Sport Recife’s chances of scoring are supported by an average xG of 1.31 and the fact that Athletic Club have conceded an average of 1.2 goals across their last five matches. The risk to the BTTS - Yes pick is the visitors’ away average of just 0.93 goals scored, as well as their failure to score in 27% of matches. Even so, both teams scored in 80% of Sport Recife’s last five matches, giving BTTS - Yes a moderate edge.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
The strongest pick is Over 1.5 goals: this line has been cleared in 93% of Athletic Club matches and 60% of Sport Recife matches. The hosts average 1.73 goals, post an xG of 1.58, and have scored in every match included in the analysis, providing a solid basis for expecting them to find the net. The visitors average 0.93 goals, but their xG stands at 1.31, and they have averaged 1.4 goals in their last five matches. The 2.5 line is less reliable, having been cleared in 47% of the hosts’ matches and 53% of the visitors’ matches over the full period analyzed. With a total-goals projection of 2.70, Over 1.5 is therefore the stronger option, without needing to assume at least three goals.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
Athletic Club have a clear attacking edge: they score an average of 1.73 goals per match compared with Sport Recife’s 0.93, and register 5.13 shots on target against their opponents’ 3.20. The hosts lead at the break in 33% of matches, while the visitors trail at half-time in 40%. Athletic also average 0.73 first-half goals, compared with just 0.27 for Sport. The hosts’ advantage could persist after the break, as they score an average of 1.00 goal and concede 0.53 in second halves, compared with 0.67 scored and 0.67 conceded by the visitors. Athletic’s 47% win rate and Sport Recife’s 47% loss rate also support a home victory. A half-time draw remains a notable alternative, as the hosts go into the break level in 53% of matches. However, their early advantage combined with greater attacking efficiency makes 1/1 the most likely HT/FT outcome.
