📰 Team News: Bahia

Gilberto (Knee injury), André Dhominique (Cruciate ligament injury), Kanu (Muscle injury), Ronaldo (Hamstring injury) and Santiago Arias (Hamstring injury) won’t be playing for Bahia boss Rogério Ceni.

In all likelihood, Tricolor de Aço should line up in a 4-3-3 system with Marcos Felipe, Erick Carvalho, Gabriel Xavier, Santi Ramos Mingo, Luciano Juba, Caio Alexandre, Everton Ribeiro, Jean Lucas, Cauly, Luciano Rodríguez and Erick Pulga.

📰 Team News: Vitoria

We reckon that Leão da Barra might begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 lineup, going with Lucas Arcanjo, Claudinho, Edu, Lucas Halter, Jamerson, Ronald, Ricardo Ryller, Wellington Rato, Gabriel Baralhas, Osvaldo Filho and Janderson.

💭 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.
