Week 9 brings us a match on May 23rd where Sport Recife hosts CRB at Estádio Adelmar Da Costa Carvalho in a clash of these two extremely mismatched Serie B teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 24 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. 2nd placed Sport Recife is fresh off their 0-0 scoreless draw against Novorizontino. Neither Novorizontino nor Sport Recife could manage to put one past the goalie. They had 18 and 6 shots on net respectively, but no one could score, and the match ended in a 0 – 0 draw,. Sport Recife should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 17 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, CRB recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Londrina. Anselmo Ramon scored the first goal for CRB in the 27th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Londrina was frustrated by CRB’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. CRB ended the match with the shutout victory. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 5 of their last 10.
This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season.
CRB is lucky enough to have a few offensive weapons, with Fabinho and Anselmo Ramon each having 2 goals in their last 5. L. Batista da Silva Junior has been the most prolific scorer on Sport Recife in his last five matches with two goals.
