Cruzeiro Sport Recife betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This duel marks the meeting between two teams that have been doing reasonably good campaigns so far in the Brazilian Championship. However, the situation of the Sport is a little more comfortable, since it appears with two points of advantage over his opponent of that round. However, none of the teams has a good time. The home team has a good defense, especially in the aerial game and the disarm, and their attack bet heavily on long distance kicks. Sport has a great attack, standing out in the plays by the tips and in the individual plays, while its defense shows strength in the disarming. Thus, we expect a balanced game, the draw being a good betting option, but still with favoritism for Cruzeiro.
