The upcoming Bahia vs Goias match promises to be a hard fought confrontation between two teams that haven’t been playing well in the opening six matchdays of Brasileirao. They have the same record and therefore the same numberof points, making this duel a direct fight to distance themselves from each other in the overall standings.
Bahia has failed to win in its last game and needs to rack up three points soon to regain their confidence. Goias, on the other hand, did manage to secure a victory beforehand, which will surely give them a boost in their morale.
Without further ado, JefeBet brings you the preview of this thrilling match between Bahia vs Goias.

Betting on Bahia
Bahia heads into this match with two consecutive defeats on its back(3-2 against Flamengo and 3-0 against Santos). They have a total of four defeats in six matches and could be in trouble if they do not start to rack up positive results consistently. In five of their six matches in the Brasileirao they have covered the Over (2.5), although this has meant that the team has conceded a lot of goals in that number of matches.
The local team has performed well in its stadium during 2023, losing only three of the 14 home games it has played. However, what may tarnish this statistics is having only won one of the three Brasileirao matches they have played so far and are among the worst local teams.
Probable lineup (3-4-1-2): Marcos Felipe; Gabriel Xavier, Vitor Hugo, Ryan; Vítor Jacaré, Thaciano, Yago Felipe, Matheus Bahia; Cauly; Arthur Sales, Biel.
Betting on Goias
Goias has the same record as Bahia, with two wins and four losses in six games. However, they won their match against Botafogo by a score of 2-1 last week and could be quite motivated to face this new challenge. That victory was a surprise because it took away the undefeated overall leader’s unbeaten record.
It will be a complex duel for the Emeralds, who have not won any of their away games so far this campaign. In addition, it is the only team with no away goals. They have only one win in this condition in eight matches in all competitions, and offer no guarantees of getting one, despite facing an opponent in similar conditions.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Marcelo Rangel; Maguinho, Lucas Halter, Bruno Melo, Sander; Dieguinho, Willian Oliveira, Zé Ricardo; Julián Palacios, Matheus Peixoto, Diego Gonçalves.
JefeBet Prediction
Both Bahia and Goias are looking for positive results to avoid falling in the bottom of the standings. Although Bahia has not looked strong playing at home and this may be the game they have been waiting for, as their opponents lack have not been effective in offense playing as visitors.
In addition, Bahia have not lost in their last six home matches against Goias in all competitions. Therefore, at JefeBet we think Bahia is the team that has the best chance of winning this match, but if you think Goias can pull off the upset, you could take advantage of the visitors’ winning line at DraftKings, which is at +380, so if you bet $50 you would have a profit of $190.
Prediction: Bahia Moneyline (BAH 1-0 GOI).
