SAO Paulo vs EC Bahia Prediction & Betting Tips - Brasileirão Serie A

Prediction published on 08/07/2021, 13:30  by Nived in Football Predictions

Sao Paulo are expected to face a stern test in the Brazilian Serie A during their meeting with Bahia Salvador at Morumbi. As many as nine places separate the two sides in the table, where Sao Paulo battle relegation in 16th-place compared to sixth-placed Bahia. Both teams come into the game with wins in their recent outings and will be keen to leverage that momentum in their favour.

A win for Bahia would propel them straight into the heart of the race for direct qualification to the group stages of the Copa Libertadores. Considering how they have kept clean sheets in their last two wins, Bahia will know they have more than just a chance to make it three straight wins.

Sao Paulo will be determined though. Especially since they have finally gotten the monkey off their backs with their first win of the season. The 2-0 triumph over Internacional could not have come at a better time for them and Sao Paulo will hope to use it as a springboard to steer further away from the battle to avoid relegation. However, they are still only just a point above the drop zone and will need more than just momentum to topple a relatively well-oiled unit like Bahia.
