Saturday evening also brings us further action from the Brazilian top flight and our next featured match sees Gremio taking on Vasco da Gama as the betting tips continue at the Arena do Grêmio.
Bahia Prediction – Can Bahia remain unbeaten at home?
Following two away matches on the trot in the Brazilian top flight, Bahia will no doubt be keen to return to their Arena Fonte Nova.
A point in a 0-0 draw at Ceara was followed by a heavy 3-1 loss at Internacional, so Bahia will be looking forward to home comforts for this clash.
Bahia have lost just the 1 match out of their last 5 matches overall in Serie A, while recent back-to-back wins at home have helped them into the top half of the division.
Indeed, the hosts still possess an impressive 100% winning record on home turf, having won all 4 of their home matches on the trot.
Victories against Corinthians, Avai, Fluminense and Gremio have contributed towards an impressive early home record of 4-0-0 8/4.
The bigger picture further emphasises Bahia’s solid and stubborn results at home as they’re unbeaten in their last 12 matches overall.
Bahia have won the last 2 encounters on the trot at home against Santos.
Santos Prediction – Can Santos win four on the trot?
The visitors also look in good shape as they’ve collected three league wins on the trot in the Brazilian top flight prior to Saturday’s clash.
Recent victories against Ceara, Atletico Mineiro and Corinthians in 1-0, 3-1 and 1-0 wins have helped lift Santos into 2nd place in Serie A.
They’re now just 5 points behind Serie A league leaders, Palmeiras as they make their way to Bahia for this important encounter.
A recent and heavy 4-0 thrashing away at the hands of Palmeiras didn’t do Santos any favours, but they’ve since bounced back with the 3 wins on the bounce.
Results away from home have been a little less consistent despite Santos recording wins at Gremio and Ceara in recent weeks.
The visitors have also suffered defeats at Sport Recife and Palmeiras, although the former was in their last away match of last season.
Santos will be more than aware of their last two visits to Bahia which ended in 1-0 and 3-1 defeats respectively.
Key-Facts – Bahia v Santos
- Bahia are unbeaten in their last 12 matches at home in Serie A
- Santos will be looking to capture a fourth win on the trot at Bahia
