📰 Team News: Bahia

In our view, Tricolor de Aço may well use a 4-3-3 system for this game, utilising Marcos Felipe, Gilberto, David Duarte, Santi Ramos Mingo, Luciano Juba, Caio Alexandre, Everton Ribeiro, Jean Lucas, Cauly, Luciano Rodríguez and Erick Pulga.

ℹ️ Team News: Vitoria

It’s our belief that Leão da Barra could decide to play in a 4-2-3-1 lineup using Lucas Arcanjo, Claudinho, Edu, Lucas Halter, Jamerson, Ronald, Ricardo Ryller, Wellington Rato, Gabriel Baralhas, Osvaldo Filho and Renato Kayzer.

🔮 Prediction

It looks to us that Bahia will most probably be able to create a high number of chances and successful shots on target.

Conversely, Vitoria will be up against it to score themselves but we do fancy them seeing enough of the ball to score, too.

We’re therefore anticipating a 3-1 winning score for Bahia at the conclusion of the game.
