Find out how the match between Náutico and Porto-PE will be like in the 7th round of the Pernambucano Championship, on February 7th, Tuesday, at 7pm, at Estádio dos Aflitos, in Recife.

Náutico

Clube Náutico Capibaribe, in its trajectory in the current Pernambucano Championship, has demonstrated a truly remarkable performance.

Currently boasting 2nd place in the league table, the team has left its mark of success with four wins and two draws in its recent record. This remarkable feat is complemented by a positive goal difference, having scored 8 goals and conceded just 3.

Taking a closer look at the association’s most recent results, it can be seen that Náutico has maintained remarkable consistency. Their narrow victories over Petrolina and convincing victory over Santa Cruz, along with a draw, highlight the team’s ability to maintain defensive and offensive solidity.

After the 1-0 defeat to Botafogo-PB, Náutico coach Allan Aal harshly criticized the team, considering it the worst performance of the year. He pointed to individual and collective failures, mainly in creation, as responsible for the negative result.

Furthermore, Aal plans a meeting with player Robson Reis and does not rule out the possibility of leaving him out in the next game. The planned strategy is to adopt the 4-2-3-1 formation.

Porto

On the other hand, Porto-PE, although it did not reach the same level of performance as Náutico this season, has its own qualities and peculiarities. Currently in 9th place in the table, Porto-PE faces substantial challenges, accumulating just one victory in contrast to five defeats.

The team scored 8 goals, but conceded an impressive 17 goals, which unequivocally points to the need to improve, especially in the defensive aspect.

Newly appointed coach Carlos Alberto, taking charge of Porto-PE replacing Luciano Ribeiro, has a vital mission in his hands: saving the team from imminent relegation to Pernambucano’s Série A2.

Furthermore, the return of the Carioca defender, after serving suspension, is eagerly awaited, as the defensive sector represents coach Carlos Alberto’s main concern. Gavião do Porto conceded an alarming total of 17 goals, having the most leaky defense in the competition. The projected tactical scheme is 4-4-2.

Furthermore, Náutico has an average of 1.33 goals scored and 0.5 goals conceded per game. Porto-PE has an average of 1.33 goals scored and 2.83 goals conceded per game.

When taking a retrospective look at the three most recent direct clashes between Náutico and Porto-PE, a clear dominance on the part of Náutico becomes evident. The most frequent result is a 3-0 score in favor of Náutico, which emphasizes their superiority in previous clashes.

Furthermore, it is important to highlight that Náutico has a significant advantage in games played at their own stadium against Porto-PE, a factor that could prove to be preponderant in this next clash.

Conclusion:

Therefore, the prognosis for the next clash between Náutico and Porto-PE is unequivocally in favor of Náutico. Their current form, especially when playing at home, and the history of direct confrontations suggest that the team has a considerable advantage.
