In that match, Corinthians managed 58% possession and 17 attempts on goal with 4 on target. The only player to score for Corinthians was Memphis Depay (46', 62'). At the other end, Sport Recife had 10 attempts on goal with 2 of them on target. Sérgio Oliveira (45') was the scorer for Sport Recife.

Racing Club
WLWLDL
Following on from being defeated in their last game at the hands of Juventud in Primera Division (Apertura) action, Racing Club will be hoping to turn things around here.
The attacking players from Racing Club have suffered from a shortage of goals over their last 6 clashes, contributing the disappointing return of just 4. In those fixtures, Racinguistas have also seen the collective goal aggregate against them equal 10. That kind of trend won’t necessarily be continued here, though.
