Bahia vs Santos FC
Brazil – Serie A
Date: Saturday, 29 May 2021
Kick-off at 23:00 UK/ 00:00 CET
Venue: Arena Fonte Nova.
Bahia had finished 14th in the table the last season, with a surplus of just three points over the relegation cut-off. Meanwhile, Santos qualified to the Libertadores, and also have a good h2h record. Thus, expect a Santos win this weekend in the opener.
Santos have been one of the best teasm in Brazil over the past several years, and expectedly they delivered a top-tier finish the last season. They will surely want to begin their new campaign on a positive note, and will give their best to secure the three points this Saturday.
They do have a good h2h record against this rival. In fact, they have a good h2h record against almost every other team in the country.
Meanwhile, Bahia are lately going through an inconsistent run, and are conceding goals in plenty.
By the looks of things, expect a Santos win this weekend.
Bahia had lost two of their previous three overall fixtures, and had failed to score in two of these games. Note that they were winless in six of their last eleven matches as well.
On the other hand, their counterparts had won three of their former five overall fixtures, and they had scored two or more goals in three of these games. In addition, they also have a great h2h record against this rival over the years, and particularly so at this venue.
Likely, expect a Santos win this weekend.
However, considering the form Bahia have shown at home in the past few months, count on them to find the back of the net at least once.
