Sport Recife vs Santos FC: Prediction for the Match on July 27 2025
Prediction for the Brasileiro Serie A game between Sport Recife and Santos FC ahead of Round 17. Sport Recife, current occupants of the bottom table spot, are up against seventeenth-place Santos, who are also poised for a downward plunge if victory slips through their fingers again. A stern referee stands in the middle, and while a lot of cards are already pinned on some names in previous matches.
A preview of the game team statistics, emerging lineups, and several betting options are available below.
🏠Sport Recife: Form and Statistics
Last Five Matches: DLLLD
Another underperforming side in the league this season is Sport Recife, who have been shy of victory in the last five contests, which produced three losses and two stalemates.
Last week’s 2-2 stalemate was basically unexpected from the team that has barely impressed since the beginning of this campaign.
Needless to say, their home form is in shambles - with two losses and one stalemate in the last three games defining how porous the team’s defenses have been.
In fourteen games, they have lost ten matches and managed four stalemates.
🏁 Sport Recife: Lineup
Team: Sport Recife has been disappointing this season. They have not won any game so far this season, have scored the least number of goals (7) and have the second highest goal concession after Juventude.
Player: Romarinho’s brace against Vitória SC had cast expectant eyes on him today. Last minute dramas are mostly a fluke, but if he can push himself towards a favorable spot, he may catch another break.
🔖 Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1): Vasconcelos, Alexandre-Menezes-Thyere-Carius, Lucas-Rivera, Lacerda-Lima-Barletta, Ramirez
👤 Head Coach: Daniel Paulista
Santos FC: Form and Statistics
Last Five Matches: LWWLL
The Fish continues to encounter hiccups, with last week’s loss against Internacional considered deeper proof that the team’s struggles may not end any time soon. Despite Neymar’s addiction to the team’s attack, nothing from him has been outstanding - as regards the hype before his return.
Having not recovered from the 3-nil embarrassment against Mirassol’s Little Lions, the 2-1 loss to Internacional was a little predictable as the team played towards Neymar, who was not given space to be clinical.
On the road. Santos FC has taken two wins and one loss from three games, beating Vitoria(1-0) and Fortaleza, but losing against Mirassol (0-3)
Santos FC Lineup
Team: Santos FC have disappointed the general spectators of the league, and even fans of the club who expected a brighter outcome this season. Sport Recife are worse-performing and have only scored seven goals this season.
Player: So far, Neymar is yet to justify his return and is beginning to look like an overspend, especially with the streak of mediocre performances since he arrived bootcamp
🔖 Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1): Brazao, Escobar-Basso-Peres-Souza, Rollheiser-Rafael-Schmidt-Barreal, Washington- Neymar
👤 Head Coach: Cleber Xavier
⛔ Out: Guilherme (injured), Tomas Rincon

🎯 Sport Recife vs Santos FC Match Prediction 27 July 2025
My projected range for this game would span across a few goals, a probable stalemate and a lot of fouls especially since the referee, Rafael Rodrigo who is notorious for handing out cards.
Below are my best predictions:
🔥 My prediction is the Under 2.5 option at 1.60 odds from Bet365. We are betting on Sport Recife's struggle to score and Santos’s pitch inconsistency.
🔥 Our betting tip will be the Away Win/Draw, and Under 3.5 goals option at a coefficient of 1.70 odds from 1xbet. Santos is the stronger team and unless they relent, Sport Recife will push for a full-time stalemate, with less than three goals.
🔥 Lastly, I will pick this Match to end in a tie situation at 3.05 odds from the Betway bookmaker. Such an outcome can only play out if Sport Recife places a chokehold on the midfield. Santos plays with a very attacking style, but showboatings and irregular passes eventually soil their linkup.
