Two teams will be vying for the three points for very different reasons as Recife host Corinthians in the Serie A. The hosts are at nineteenth in the league table with just twenty-three points on board from twenty-four games, meaning three points short of survival in the Serie A at the current moment. The visitors are placed at fifth in the league standings with thirty-seven points from twenty-four fixtures so far. Recife come into the fixture with two wins in a row over Gremio and Juventude in Serie A with 2-1 and 3-1 score lines. However, the consecutive victories do not really reflect Recife’s current run of form. They have only won two out of their last ten matches in Serie A. Cesar Lucena’s men have had problems scoring goals, which is deemed to be the primary reason for their current position in the drop zone. Recife have managed to net just thirteen goals in twenty-four matches in the Serie A, which is the worst scoring record in the league at the moment.

An inconsistent and slow start to the new season means Corinthians will not be chasing for their seventh Serie A title but will contest to finish with a Copa Libertadores slot. Corinthians come into the Recife game with an impressive run of results. They are on a ten-match unbeaten streak in the league. They are also unbeaten in their last six matches on the road in the league. Sylvinho’s side are three points short of the fourth-place which will earn them re-entry to the Copa Libertadores in the next season. The two teams last played each other back in June and Corinthians emerged as 2-1 winners at home.
