Bahia vs. Internacional Preview and Betting Odds

Two teams in trouble will face each other this weekend when Bahia hosts Internacional in the 20th round of the Brasileirao.

The Bahiaço, the surprise at the beginning of the championship, continues to drop its performance and comes from rescuing a point against Atlético Goianiense.

Inter, on the other hand, is suffering in Brazil and also at the international level, as it has been eliminated from the Copa Sudamericana.

Bahía vs. Internacional Betting Odds and Info

Why Bet on Bahía?

A few weeks ago, Bahia was fighting for the tournament lead and was the best home team in the tournament, with a perfect run at home, but that has been changing drastically.

Last Wednesday, they drew away to Atlético Goianiense (1-1) thanks to a last-gasp goal by Jean Lucas after a rebound off the post. However, it was only one point out of the last nine, dropping them to seventh place with 31 units.

The most worrying thing is that they had a great home streak, winning the seven matches they had played, but in the last two opportunities, against teams that were at the bottom of the table, they lost in that condition: Cuiabá (1-2) and Corinthians (0-1).

Rogerio Ceni’s team has conceded goals in five consecutive matches and is the club that concedes the most among the first nine.

Up front, they have been doing well, scoring 28 goals. The team’s top scorer is Everaldo, who has six goals, while Biel stands out for having four goals and four assists. Biel was suspended for the last game and will return for this one, as will Kanu and Caio Alexandre.

Why Bet on Internacional?

Internacional changed coach, but it has not worked out. Roger Machado arrived and lost to Botafogo (1-0) in the local tournament and drew with Rosario Central (1-1) in the Sudamericana, being eliminated with a 2-1 aggregate score.

With 19 points the Colorado is in 13th place, only five points above relegation. It is also true that they have only 14 games against the 18 or 19 of their rivals due to the floods that happened a few months ago in the state of Rio Grande do Sul.

Undoubtedly, the results are disappointing, since with international players such as Lucas Alario, Rafael Santos Borré, or Enner Valencia, one would expect much more from them, especially in attack, where they only have 12 goals, and of those mentioned, only Borré scored one. Wesley, who has four, is the only Inter player with more than one.

They have conceded goals in the last nine games in all competitions, so they have to tighten the screws in the defensive sector, especially considering the level of goalkeeper Sergio Rochet.

All in all, they have been a decent away team, with three wins, two draws, and three defeats.

Final Betting Analysis: Bahía vs. Internacional

The last time they met was on October 18 last year and Internacional won 2-1 with goals from Wesley and Fernando, while the last time they met at the Arena Fonte Nova, Bahia won 1-0. The home team has won in the last four opportunities, and they have six games without a draw.

The numbers at Gambyl Exchange have Bahia as the favorite. Their Moneyline shows 2.05, Internacional has 3.90, and the draw is at 3.25.

Two teams that must win, especially Internacional, which was set up to fight for the championship and is fighting relegation. Bahia’s level has dropped a lot, so we believe it will be a 1-1 draw.

Go for a draw. If you bet $100 at 3.25, you will gain $225 for a total payout of $325.
