Sport Recife vs Atlético Mineiro Prediction: Sport Recife prepares for Serie B

Sport Recife vs Atlético Mineiro: Prediction for the Match on November 09, 2025

Against the ropes, the Lions of the North will engage in a bruising encounter with Atletico Minero’s Roosters at the IIha do Retiro grounds. Round 32 paid different fortunes for the two teams, with Sport losing against Juventude and Mineiro winning against Bahia. The visitors are charged for a subsequent victory, and at this point, there may be nothing the hosting outfit can do to prevent relegation.

A preview of the game team statistics, emerging lineup, and several betting options are available below.

In a game expected to be a source of relief for the side, Sport Recife suffered another embarrassing 2-0 home loss against Juventude last week. Despite the VAR check disallowing the opposition’s 16th-minute goal, they flunked all chances, and eventually conceded for the first time in the 46th minute, going into halftime with a goal down. The second half resumed with the coach making three substitutes, which didn’t really influence the game as all their attempts on goal only proved wayward. The game eventually ended with a second deficit scored in the 78th minute after a clueless attacking break was intercepted and converted into a counter-attacking move by the opponents.

The defeat marked their eighteenth loss in thirty-one games, which otherwise registered eleven draws and two wins. The Lions have taken only one point from the last five league games, which produced four losses and one stalemate.

They have the second-worst concession rate after Juventude (58), having conceded fifty-one (51) goals, while only scoring twenty-two (22).

Sport Recife has only won once at home in fifteen matches, and Mineiro has beaten them before. The odds for a potential victory are decimal.

🏁 Sport Recife: Lineup

 All eyes are on Cesar Lucerna’s tactile approach as victory remains a black swan (rare) for the club. Having sacked Daniel Paulista over poor performances, Lucerna’s reign does not look long, as the team continues to wallow in consecutive mediocrity. Fitness seems to be no problem, with only Doigo Hereda and Rafael Thyere doubted to begin. Youngster Ze Lucas is out on international duty, assisting a goal in Brazil’s 7-0 victory against Honduras in the U-17 category.

🔖 Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1): Vasconcelos, Carius-Menenzes-Lucas-Alexandre, Barletta-Riviera-Oliviera-Matheusinho, Lima

👤 Head Coach: Cesar Lucena

⛔ Out: Injured: Nil. Doubtful-Diogo Hereda, Rafael Thyere.

In an unbelievable twist, traveling fans witnessed the giant-killing feat achieved by the Roosters in the 3-0 victory against Bahia, a bitter pill to swallow for the over-confident guests, who thought the match would be a walk in the park. The Roosters gave the guest no breathing space, pushing till the first goal, scored by Givanildo de Souza (Hulk) in the 66th minute after a defensive effort came as a rebound, which was thundered into the bottom right corner. A well-crafted free-kick setpiece, courtesy of Igor Gomez, increased their lead by two goals, and four minutes later, Biel scored a third off a break-out pass that left him in a 1v1 with Ronaldo, Bahia’s goalie.

Currently, Galo has ten wins and eleven losses in thirty-one matches, with ten stalemates in between. Travelling has been difficult for the side, who have compiled two wins, four stalemates, and ten losses in the last sixteen away matches.

🏁 Atlético Mineiro: Lineup

Hulk returns as the striker in today’s lineup, having shown deadliness against Bahia last week. Coach Sampaoli looks to take advantage of his fiery form in the goal area, placing Dudu and Rony as perpetual back-ups. Junior Santos, Tomas Cuello, and Lyanco remain indisposed. Ruan, who picked up a yellow card in the previous match, will miss this game due to accumulated fouls.

🔖 Predicted Lineup (3-4-2-1): Everson, Alonso-Hugo-Saravia, Arana-Alexander-Franco-Scarpa, Rony-Dudu, Hulk

👤 Head Coach: Jorge Sampaoli

⛔ Out: Injured- Junior Santos, Tomas Cuello, Lyanco. Suspended-Ruan, Bernard

🎯 Sport Recife vs Atlético Mineiro Match Prediction 08 November 2025

This season, Sport Recife are on a lean patch, which is a bit understated with poor performances and attacking hesitation. Last week against Juventude, they had decent chances to score, but the technical flair was missing to convert these opportunities. Galo showed class against Bahia, playing good football to shock the visitors who left their weak spots unguarded, thereby getting punished.

Even if the Lions bring their A-game, the Mineiro we saw against Bahia will not lose to them. I expect the Roosters to repeat their winning endeavour since the lineup  ahead of this interesting matchup remains the same. Galo will press Sport Recife’s defense a lot, and conceded corners will answer the questions. I also do not think that Sport Recife will score today.

 Below are my best predictions:

🔥 Our main prediction will be Corner Handicap: Mineiro (+0.5) at 1.88 odds from Betway

🔥 Our betting tip will be a total of over nine corners at 1.66 odds from Bet365

🔥 Our final betting tip will be for Mineiro to win, or draw, and under four goals at 1.61 odds from 1xbet.
