Sport Recife vs Vasco Da Gama Prediction: The Visitors Will Disrupt Things On the Home Turf

Sport Recife vs Vasco Da Gama: Prediction for the Match on September 01 2025

Prediction for the Sport Recife - Vasco Da Gama game which will take place at the grounds ahead of Matchday 21 in the Serie A. While this will be a bottom table clash, relegation-tied Sport Recife which currently occupies the bottom spot will strive to contend three points against Vasco Da Gama, who are currently shy of the relegation zone by virtue of goal differences. A preview of the game, team statistics, emerging lineups, and several betting options are available below.

Sport Recife: Form and Statistics

Recent Form: DDWDL

Before the 3-0 loss to Palmeiras last week, Sport Recife had gone through four consecutive league games unbeaten. The 2-2 stalemate against Santos FC, The goalless tie against Bahia, a slim 1-nil lead over Gremio and a 2-2 tie against Sao Paulo.

News from the home grounds have not been great, with three losses and one loss revealing the team barely breaking even through these games. 

Although the away defeat to Palmeiras was expected due to the vast squad difference, Lucas Lima’s injury dealt a big blow to the coordinating attack, and Leo Pereira kept fumbling possession off to the opposition. Also, they did not have a cutting edge in the attack, with Pablo and his eventual replacement Ignacio Ramirez doing very little to push winning agendas for the team.

Sport Recife Lineup

Left Back Kevyson looks like the player that could cause a worry, as his station seems like one of the most porous positions in the lineup. Coach Paulista has to find measures to reinforce the flank, and his high-line 4-3-3 sorts that as a huge problem. Everyone seems solid in anticipation for what could be a great game. 

Predicted Lineup (4-3-3): Vasconcelos, Alexandre-Thyere-Menezes-Kevyson, Rivera-Zé Lucas-Matheusinho, Pereira-Lacerda-Barletta

Head Coach: Fernando Diniz

Out: Lucas Lima (injured), Diogo Hereda (injured) Sergio Oliveira (out) Igor Carius (doubtful)

Vasco Da Gama: Form and Statistics

Recent Form: LDWLL

Since the headlined 6-0 victory over Santos FC, Vasco Da Gama has gone in to flunk the next two league games against Juventus (2-0) and SP Corinthians (3-2). Although performance mappings registered defeat in both games, there was a considerable improvement in pitch display between these games.

In five recent league matches, Vasco Da Gama has only taken four points, and this could easily be ascribed to the mediocrity displayed by members of the attacking chain. 

Regardless of the 3-2 scoreline, Vasco Da Gama was easily outplayed, as their two goals against Corinthians came from a penalty and a literal 96th-minute consolation. 

Vasco Da Gama: Lineup

Two factors that could currently militate against Vasco’s play; Tche Tche’s injury sidelining, and Philip Coutinho’s mildness as play orchestrator. Fans look forward to better days as Pablo Veggetti’s inclusion could signify a slight turnout in build up play. Thiago Mendes will most likely continue as replacement for Cauan Barros, who received a knock in the 1-1 Cup game against Botafogo.

Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1): Jardim, Piton-Freitas-Moura-Rodriguez, Jair-Mendes, Moreira-Coutinho-Rayan, Vegetti

Head Coach: Daniel Paulista

Out: Cauan Barros (injured), Adson (injured) Mateus Carvalho (injured) Tche Tche (injured)

Sport Recife vs Vasco Da Gama match prediction 01 September 2025

While it looks like Vasco Da Gama is statistically better, Sport Recife has been pretty decent over four recent games, giving their respective oppositions quite the challenge. A lot has changed in team dynamics from the last 3-1 Vasco Da Gama’s win, as the current hosts seem to have clogged their loopholes in subsequent games. Still, I cannot get past the gut instinct that Sport Recife may not get a point from this game. 

Below are my top thoughts:

My prediction is the Away/Draw, and Total U3.5 goals at 1.92 odds from 1xbet. This is because I expect Vasco Da Gama to easily dominate Fernando Diniz’s squad, who currently still bleed from Palmeiras’s domination.

Our betting tip is for a BTTS - NO at the coefficient of 1.90 odds from Bet365. A BTTS-NO is a solid afterthought as I do not see Sport Recife enjoying perks against Vasco’s lineup. I am not envisaging a goal from Recife’s lineup, which still lacks a cutting edge.

Lastly, I will boldly pick victory for the hosts at a coefficient of 3.05 odds with Betway; The hosts are the better side statistically and victory for them would mean a relief from relegation-related troubles.
