In our view, Red Bull Bragantino are certainly able to put a goal past this Sport Recife outfit, however that isn’t expected to be as many as the goals that they could concede.

We’re predicting a very close game with a 2-1 winning score for Sport Recife when the full-time whistle blows. Should be a good one.
