RB Bragantino vs Sport Recife Prediction: Sport needs a win

RB Bragantino vs Sport Recife: Prediction and odds on the Brasileirão match on September 14, 2025

Sport Recife remains at the bottom of the table, and its chances of escaping relegation are dwindling as time goes by. The Pernambucanos secured their first victory in Round 19, but have failed to win since then.

RB Bragantino: Form and statistics

The Massa Bruta lost to Botafogo 4-1 at the Nilton Santos, but remains in eighth place in the table as its closest rivals didn't win. Botafogo took an early lead through Danilo in the 6th minute. The game started at a good pace, with Jhon Jhon equalizing eight minutes later. Red Bull reacted quickly, and it was looking like it would be a close game. However, the home team scored two goals in the first half, by Newton and Savarino, and practically sealed the deal. The three goals by the Cariocas were scored from outside the area, which is very rare. In the second half, Botafogo scored another goal by Montoro in the 92nd minute. Fernando Seabra's team did not play well and now has to beat the bottom team at home. Failing against Sport would be a worrying sign.

RB Bragantino: Lineup

Bragantino still has several injured players, but in theory, Fernando Seabra will soon have more options available, as some of them are expected to recover in the coming weeks.

🔖RB Bragantino starting lineup (4-3-3)

Cleiton – Nathan, Pedro Henrique, Guzmán Rodríguez, Vanderlan – Eric Ramires, Fabinho, Jhon Jhon – Lucas Barbosa, Sasha, Laquintana

👤Head Coach: Fernando Seabra

Sport Recife: Form and statistics

Sport Recife lost 3-2 at home to Vasco da Gama, further complicating its precarious situation. The Lion of the North could not afford to lose this game against a direct rival in the relegation battle, especially at home. The Pernambucanos defended poorly and conceded three goals, just as they had done against Palmeiras in the previous game. Of course, Vasco's goal in the 8th minute made Daniel Paulista's men even more nervous, but it is precisely in these moments that you see if a team has the resilience to react to adversity. The Cariocas scored three goals in 49 minutes, which shows how out of control the home team was. Sport had a good run of five games without defeat, during which it picked up its only league win. However, two defeats in the last two games have cast doubt on the Pernambucanos' capacity to avoid dropping to the Série B. Sport Recife has only 10 points and is 12 points behind Santos, the first team outside the relegation zone.

Sport Recife: Lineup

Matheus Alexandre is doubtful for the game. If the right-back is unable to play, Aderlan should take his place.

🔖Sport Recife starting lineup (4-3-3)

RB Bragantino vs Sport Recife match prediction 14 September 2025

Bragantino went through a difficult period, with a losing streak that sent the team down to eighth place, and is now trying to regain consistency. Fernando Seabra's team has conceded many goals recently, and that is undoubtedly the coach's biggest concern. On the other hand, Sport Recife is in last place, 12 points behind Vasco da Gama, the first team outside the relegation zone. Only a victory matters to the Pernambucanos, as they can't save themselves with draws alone. Sport Recife has only managed to win one game so far. I'm going to bet on a Double Chance in favor of Bragantino, with a minimum of two goals scored in the match, as both teams have been vulnerable in defense.
