Sport Recife vs RB Bragantino: Prediction and odds on the Brasileirão match on April 17, 2025
Sport Recife and Bragantino will meet at the Ilha do Retiro in a Série A Round 4 match. Sport climbed to the top division of Brazilian football this year but still hasn't won in the competition. Pepa's men have shown some quality, but that hasn't been enough to pick up any points. Their next game is against Bragantino, who recorded a morale-boosting win over Botafogo.

The Lion of the North has one draw and two defeats in three league matches. After a 0-0 stalemate away to São Paulo, the Pernambucanos have conceded five goals in the last two rounds. It's perhaps too early to talk about defensive problems because the two goals conceded against Palmeiras came from two penalties, one of which was wrongly awarded. Over the weekend, Sport lost 3-1 away to Vasco da Gama despite having 18 shots against ten from the Cariocas. Vegetti, Vasco's striker, scored twice in the first half to give his team a comfortable lead at the break. It was the Argentine's third goal in the competition. Sport reduced the lead with an own goal in the 55th minute but failed to equalize. Vasco confirmed the victory by making it 3-1 in the 83rd minute. It was Sport Recife's worst game so far in the Série A.
Sport Recife: Lineup
With two left defenders out of action, Dalbert and Cariús, Pepa had to experiment by placing Chico, a central defender, on the left. Chico did well against Vasco, but Lucas Cunha struggled. The team has been wasting goal chances, but Paciência is also injured and will probably not be available.
🔖Sport Recife starting lineup (4-5-1)
Caíque – Hereda, João Silva, Lucas Cunha, Chico – Lucas Lima, Du Queiroz, Sérgio Oliveira, Rivera, Barletta – Pablo
⛔️Out: Gonçalo Paciência, Dalbert, Cariús, Antônio Carlos (injured)
👤 Head Coach: Pepa

RB Bragantino: Form and statistics
After a draw and a defeat in the first two rounds, Bragantino claimed its first win in the competition. Fernando Seabra's men have reasons to be happy because they beat defending champions Botafogo in the most surprising result of Round 3. Eduardo Sasha scored the game's only goal after just 5 minutes. Against all odds, Botafogo was unable to equalize despite having plenty of time left. The Cariocas' attacking play was always too predictable. Bragantino showed better defensive organization when compared to the first two matches, where they conceded two goals in each. So far, Red Bull Bragantino has scored four goals and conceded four. The Massa Bruta will travel to Recife with plenty of confidence to bring home points.
RB Bragantino: Lineup
Matheus Fernandes suffered a minor injury, and the medical staff decided that it would be best for the midfielder not to play against Botafogo as a precaution. Matheus will probably be available against Sport, but Eric Ramires played in his place and did well.
🔖RB Bragantino starting lineup (4-2-3-1)
Cleiton – Hurtado, Pedro Henrique, Guzmán Rodríguez, Capixaba – Matheus Fernandes, Gabriel – Lucas Barbosa, John John, Mosquera – Sasha
⛔️Out: Nathan Mendes, Sant’Anna, Fabinho, Fernando (injured)
👤Head Coach: Fernando Seabra

Sport Recife vs RB Bragantino match prediction 17 April 2025
In the last round, Sport Recife lost 3-1 away to Vasco da Gama, while Bragantino got its first league win over reigning champion Botafogo. A result that few expected and which has given Red Bull confidence. Sport gave Palmeiras a hard time in its only home game, so I think the Pernambucanos can win this time. Still, I'm going for a Double Chance in favor of the home team with a maximum of three goals scored because a draw shouldn't be ruled out.
