🗞️
Team News: Bahia
We think that Tricolor de Aço should use a 4-3-3 system and select Ronaldo, Nicolás Acevedo, David Duarte, Santi Ramos Mingo, Ze Guilherme, Caio Alexandre, Erick Carvalho, Rodrigo Nestor, Ademir Santos, Willian José and Erick Pulga.
ℹ️
Team News: Chapecoense
We are inclined to think that Verdão will likely make use of a 4-3-3 lineup, going with Anderson Paixao, Marcos Vinicius, Rafael Thyere, Everton, Bruno Pacheco, Camilo, Bruno Matias, Giovanni Augusto, Sebastião Enio, Yannick Bolasie and Marcinho.
💭
Prediction
We feel that Bahia can and should dominate on the ball and be rewarded with decent chances.
Conversely, Chapecoense will not find it easy to score a goal of their own but we do think that it’s more than likely that they will be being dangerous at times, too.
Our selection here is for a pretty comfortable 3-1 win for Bahia by the time that the referee blows the final whistle.
