General match analysis
Vila Nova have won 78% of their home matches and remain unbeaten on their own ground, scoring an average of 2.00 goals per game. Sport Recife score just 0.89 goals away from home and fail to find the net in 44% of such fixtures, which significantly limits their attacking potential. The hosts also create more high-quality chances: their average home xG stands at 1.54, compared with Sport’s 1.23 away from home, while opponents record an average xG of 1.46 against them. Vila Nova’s last five matches produced 2 wins, whereas Sport Recife have failed to win any of their last five and drew as many as 4. The visitors defend solidly away from home, conceding an average of 0.67 goals, so a draw remains a realistic scenario; however, the hosts’ advantage in finishing efficiency and home results points towards a 1X2 home win — selection 1.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
Vila Nova have a high season-long rate of matches featuring goals from both sides, at 73%, but this figure has dropped to 40% over their last five games, while the team has scored just 0.8 goals per match. Sport Recife average 0.89 goals away from home and have failed to score in 44% of such matches, which is the strongest argument that at least one side may fail to find the net. The visitors defend solidly, keeping a clean sheet in 44% of away games and conceding just 0.67 goals on average, despite Vila Nova averaging 1.55 goals at home. Sport’s recent form has been more open, with 1.4 goals scored and 1.6 conceded across five matches, while BTTS occurred in 80% of those games. However, the league-wide BTTS rate of 49% and the visitors’ low scoring efficiency of 7% slightly strengthen the BTTS - No option.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
The season profiles of both teams clearly point toward a limited number of goals: fewer than 3.5 goals were scored in 73% of Vila Nova’s matches and as many as 89% of Sport Recife’s games. Sport Recife concede an average of just 0.67 goals and keep a clean sheet in 44% of their appearances, which could slow down the hosts despite their average of 1.55 goals scored. Vila Nova have scored only 4 goals in their last five matches, or 0.8 per game, with an xG of 1.21. Sport’s recent form has produced more goals, as they score 1.4 per match, but the league-wide total average is only 2.31 goals, while both teams have recorded at least three goals in just 40% of their matches over the last five rounds. The projected total of 2.00 goals gives the Under 3.5 option the strongest edge, as the bet only loses if at least four goals are scored.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
The strongest scenario is a draw at half-time and a draw at full-time, as Vila Nova were level at the break in 64% of their matches, compared with 44% for Sport Recife. Both teams play very cautiously before the break: the hosts average 0.36 goals and the visitors 0.33, while the combined average number of first-half goals is only 0.82 and 0.78, respectively. The draw is also strongly supported by the data at full-time: Vila Nova shared the points in 64% of their league matches, while Sport did so in 44%, and the visitors have recorded as many as four draws in their last five appearances. The hosts have a creative advantage, with an xG of 1.60 compared with 1.23 and 5.18 shots on target per match compared with 3.11, but Sport concede just 0.67 goals on average away from home and keep a clean sheet in 44% of matches. This limits the likelihood of Vila Nova establishing a clear advantage and favors an even 0-0 or 1-1 result.
