We’re inclined to think that Palmeiras should be able to create a good number of chances & successful shots on target.
At the same time, Bahia may well find it hard getting on the scoresheet although we do see them hitting back at some stage, too.
We’re tipping a pretty comfortable 3-1 winning score for Palmeiras when all’s said and done.
