What to expect
We expect about 1.7 goals from Sport Recife and 0.8 from America MG, so Sport Recife come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 2.5 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.
Sport Recife come into this on two straight wins. America MG come into this on three straight defeats. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.
Our pick: Sport Recife to win. Sport Recife are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 1.7-0.8), and we make them about 64% to win. On this shape, taking them to come out on top looks the cleaner play than chasing a bigger price elsewhere.
We put the chance of that landing at about 64 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.81, which works out at about 55 out of 100. That gap is the whole reason this is on the site: we rate it more likely than the price does, and the price looks good to us because of it.

One thing to watch
America MG only need one good spell or a set-piece to nick something, and short-priced favourites slip up plenty. At around 64% on our numbers, it's a solid lean rather than a certainty.
