Sun 11th May, 20:00 BST, Estádio Adelmar da Costa Carvalh, Recife

Sergiy Lavrinenko pays counterpart Pepa a visit on Sunday night in the Serie A, as their Cruzeiro and Sport Recife teams go head to head at the Estádio Adelmar da Costa Carvalh. For every Serie A preview, KickOff delves into the stats for all of the biggest markets. Meaningful stats, including head-to-head results, are then published alongside odds from the UK's biggest bookmakers.


Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

Fans may not be thrilled to read this, but it's all-but impossible to predict a thriller here. The stats suggest S. Recife and Cruzeiro both are capable of keeping it tight at the back, and the odds are leaning towards there being fewer than 2 goals in total as they go head-to-head. We think they're probably right and, with no obvious outright winners to back, under 2.5 goals feels like the right bet on this match.
