👉 Our prediction is: over 9.5 corners

Our top tip for Ceará vs Sport Recife is to take advantage of the corners market, particularly taking the over on 9.5 corners. There is good value to be had in that bet, which is priced at 1.4.

Both teams need to combine for at least 10 corners to win the bet, which may seem like a lot. But based on their statistical profile for this season, we expect them to easily clear that mark in their upcoming matchup.

👉 Our prediction is: Ceará to win

In all honesty, there is no other result we can foresee for this match other than Ceará to win outright, which is our betting tip.

Ceará's strong form this season, particularly at home, is hard to overlook, as are Sport Recife's shaky overall results and performances of late. And we expect the two sides to play true to form when they meet for their upcoming match.
