Prediction

  • Bahia, after winning four games on the spin, suffered a 4-0 battering by Bragantino last time out in the week. A fast start saw the Sao Paulo side race into a 3-0 lead in just over 20 minutes. They did manage to put the result behind them in midweek in the Copa Sudamericana enjoying a narrow 1-0 victory over Union Sante Fe.
  • Sao Paulo missed the chance to go top of the league in midweek as they drew 1-1 at Ceara. They do however still have three games in hand on first placed Atletico Mineiro and will hope to gain pole position at some stage in the future. This weekend they will be hoping to keep the pressure on the top two with a victory here, and with Bahia suffering a 4-0 defeat in their last league match, they will go into the game hopeful of getting three points.
