Betting on Esporte Clube Bahia
Bahia, the team that earned promotion to join the 2023 Brasileirao edition, didn’t get off to a great start. It was defeated 2-1 by Bragantino, which was a reality check and a wake-up call that things won’t be easy in Brazil’s top league.
However, Bahia remains confident going into its next match as it has won four consecutive home games without losing, including the last three, scoring a total of 10 goals and conceding only one. It’s worth noting that these victories came against lower-level opponents.
Possible Lineup (3-5-2): Marcos Felipe; Gabriel Xavier, Kanu, Rezende; Vítor Jacaré, Nicolás Acevedo, Daniel, Yago Felipe, Jhoanner Chávez; Everaldo, Ademir.
Betting on Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas
Botafogo got off to a great start in the domestic tournament, beating Sao Paulo 2-1 in a match played at home. The team reinforced its result by thrashing Cesar Vallejo in the Copa Sudamericana, putting it in the best position for this upcoming match with hopes of putting up a good fight on the road.
This is especially so, since Botafogo hasn’t done too badly when playing away, remaining unbeaten in the last 6 matches, with a record of three wins and three draws. However, the team has been defeated in its last three matches against this opponent on the road.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Lucas Perri; Leonel Di Plácido, Adryelson, Víctor Cuesta, Rafael; Eduardo, Tchê Tchê, Danilo Barbosa; Gustavo Sauer, Tiquinho Soares, Júnior Santos.
JefeBet Prediction
The home team is the heavy favorite to win this match, but it should be cautious against an opponent that comes in with confidence after achieving good results in recent matches. While it’s true that Bahia has a good record against Botafogo, it won’t have an easy task, since the tournament has just started, and it needs to adapt to the pace of the first division.
Therefore, it’s expected that the away team will earn at least one point by taking advantage of its good form.
