Internacional vs Sport Recife Prediction 31 May 2021

On the night from Sunday to Monday, the match of the first round of the Brazilian Serie A between Internacional and Sport Recife will be held.

The second place in the 2020 season is an excellent result for Internacional, which did not become the champions of the country only because of the failed ending of the championship. In the last five meetings, the Red-Whites defeated Olimpia 1:0, however, they lost to Deportivo Tachira (1:2), Gremio (1:1, 1:2) and Always Ready (0:0).

Sport Recife reached the final of the Pernambucan Football Championship, where they lost to the representatives of the second division Nautico - 1:1 and 1:2. Before that, the Lions got three victories over Retro (1:0), the same Nautico (3:0) and Salgueiro (1:0), but this was still in the group stage. Let us remind you that last year they played the role of a strong Brasileirao middle-tier team.

We believe that the bookmakers greatly overestimate the capabilities of Internacional in this duel. Despite their superiority in class and experience, the Porto Alegre team perform on a much tighter schedule, and Sport Recife have a good chance of taking advantage of this.
