Where Can I Watch?
Why Bet on Bahia?
Bahia is the newest member of the City Group, a company internationally known for investing in football teams and whose main representative is Manchester City. Recently promoted to the elite of Brazilian football, it is still trying to adapt to football played in the first division, which has made the team stumble in some matches and lose important points.
This year fans saw the biggest financial investment in history being made in their club. Bahia signed more than 10 players, paying high amounts and attracting athletes from different parts of the world, something completely unimaginable at other times.
Holder of one of the most passionate fans in the world, the team now has a long-term project, which aims to reach increasingly daring positions in the national championship. First, however, it needs to stay in the first division and face challenges like this to reach this goal.
Betting on them makes sense because they will play at home and against a destitute Palmeiras: the main players of the opposing team are with the Brazilian national team, which can make the game a little more balanced.
Why Bet on Palmeiras?
Palmeiras has been, for some years now, the most determined and winning team in Brazilian football. The Alviverde team takes all opponents seriously, regardless of where the game takes place.
The Verdão is currently in the vice-leadership, with a disadvantage of two points from Botafogo in 1st place. Champion of the last edition of the Brasileirão, they know that is necessary to keep the pace, adding points at home and away, aiming for leadership shortly.
Even without its main parts available, Palmeiras has spare parts that can give the team a similar dynamic. Coach Abel Ferreira usually gets the most out of his athletes and this reason, therefore, is what counts most in favor of betting on them.
Final Betting Analysis: Bahia vs. Palmeiras
Bahia is under pressure due to recent results and the performance of some players, who still don’t fit in with coach Renato Paiva’s tactical scheme. Palmeiras, however, is always confident at heights, even with the entry of players considered reserves.
The Verdão is a more experienced and powerful team and therefore we believe they will win the game against the locals.
If you put $100 into Palmeiras’ win, you could get $96 back for a total payout of $196.
