Juventude and Sport Recife have both made dismal starts to the Serie A season in Brazil and this match already has the air of a relegation six-pointer, just 11 games into the new campaign.
Sport Recife find themselves rooted to the foot of the table after collecting a measly three points and have yet to record a victory in the league.
Juventude's form isn't much better and they sit just one place and five points above Sport, having collected only two wins all season.
With four teams being relegated from the top flight, these sides will have to buck up their ideas to stand a chance of dodging the drop and a defeat for Sport Recife would leave them even further adrift.
Daniel Paulista's side started the season with a decent draw on the road at Sao Paulo but have since lost five in a row on their travels.
Juventude's results at home have been decent, with just two defeats in six, and it's a run of five successive away defeats that has left them in the drop zone.
So they will be confident of piling on the pain for Sport in front of their own fans and banking three precious points.
How the bookies view it: Juventude look good at 7/5
I'm surprised to see Juventude as big as 7/5 with BoyleSports for this one, given their strong home form and Sport Recife's troubles on their travels. They look well worth a punt at that price. The away win is priced at 9/5 and the draw pays 2/1.
Recent head to head: Sporting chance
These sides have only faced off six times before and it's Sport who just edge the head to head, with three wins, two defeats and a draw. They last faced off in Serie B three years ago, with Sport winning 3-0 at home then drawing 2-2 on the road.
Players to watch: Batalla ready
Emerson Batalla has been a goal threat from midfield for Juventude this season, chipping in with three goals. He netted in the 1-1 draw with Club World Cup semi-finalists Fluminense and is 3/1 at Unibet for another goal.
Scoring has been a big problem for Sport this season and striker Chrystian Barletta has netted just two times. He still looks their best bet for a goal here and is also 3/1 at Unibet.
Probable line-ups
Juventude's squad is in decent health, with only stopper Cipriani and keeper Gustavo on the sidelines with injury. Sport Recife have more problems, with keepers Gabriel and Denis injured along with forwards Ze Roberto and Goncalo Pacienca.
Juventude: Marcao, Ewerthon, Ruschel, R Sam, Paulo, Nene, Giovanny, Batalla, Mandaca, Caique, Taliari.
Sport Recife: Franca, Cunha, Carlos, Dalbert, Carius, Hereda, Ortiz, Ze Lucas, Lima, Barletta, Pablo.
Anything else catch the eye?
With neither side in great form, I'd be surprised if we saw a lot of goals. BTTS has landed in just one of the last five for Juventude and two of the last six for Sport Recife so betting against it could pay off at 5/6 with BoyleSports.
This could be quite cagey with so much at stake and backing most goals to come after the break looks good at 21/20 with BoyleSports.
Five of Sport's last six games have hit double figures for corners, with the tally hitting nine in the other match. So I also like the evens on offer at Bet365 for over 10 corners in this one.
