Sport Recife vs Operario-PR

The visitors chasing a result away from home Sport Recife, solid at home, host a mid-table Operario-PR. The pick goes against the grain and covers the visitors avoiding defeat, that is a draw or an Operario away win. Where the uncertainty sits Sport Recife start as home favourites, and asking Operario not to leave beaten is a value choice that accepts a fair margin of risk. The prevalence of draws in a defensive league like Brazil's Serie B does lend the read a hand. I read it around 50%, a genuine coin flip: an outcome far from a given. The confidence of 5 looks consistent with a call that openly runs against the day's favourite.
