Betting on Esporte Clube Bahia
Bahia is one of the two teams that have won the Copa Do Nordeste the most times, with four titles: 2001, 2002, 2017 and 2021. At the moment, they are nothing like the team that emerged champions a couple of years ago, having won only one of their seven group stage matches.
As if that were not enough, the team has gone three games without a win in this competition and is also the team with the worst defense, having allowed 15 goals. This match will be a mere formality, since even with a victory they would not be able to reach the first four places in Group B.
Possible lineup (4-4-2):Mateus Claus; Ryan, Miqueias, David Duarte, Cicinho; Lucas Mugni, Yago Felipe, Diego Rosa, Patrick Verhon; Arthur Sales, Kayky.
Betting on Clube de Regatas Brasil
CRB is among the top four in Group A with 13 points, the result of three wins and four draws. Together with Ferroviario, they are the only teams that have not lost in the Copa Do Nordeste.
His greatest achievement in this competition is a runner-up finish in 1994, so he will not only seek to equal that but to improve on it in this edition. In their previous match in this tournament, they beat ABC, a team that is also part of Group B, but which has shown a better level than Bahia, 1-0. Should the Alagoas team win this match, it could improve its position.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Diogo Silva; Matheus Ribeiro, Gum, Fábio Alemao, Luiz Henrique; Auremir, Joao Paulo, Juninho Valoura; Renato, Gabriel Conceicao, Mike.
JefeBet Prediction
The last time they met in the Copa Do Nordeste, the result favored Bahia with a crushing 4-0 victory. This time things are different, as Bahia is having defensive problems and being a home team does not give them any kind of advantage. In that capacity, it has not won any of its three matches in this competition, with two draws and one defeat.
For this reason, at JefeBet we predict that CRB can take all three points, being the only team to score here.
Forecast: CRB Moneyline (BAH 0-2 CRB).
