Why Bet on Grêmio?
Currently on the rise, Grêmio is at the 13th spot after landing four wins in their last five, leaving behind the relegation zone. Now, the team looks like a completely different beast from how they started their season, but they will need to continue pushing forward if they want to impress.
After beating the Dourado 3-1, the Tricolor Gaucho sums three goals against and ten in favor in the last four matches.
If they want to keep the momentum, they’ll have to deal with a Bahia team that was struggling until not long ago and leaves many doubts.
Why Bet on Bahia?
Bahia used to look like a world-beater earlier in the season, but now, the team is 7th in the table and has been locked there for a while. Their ten wins, five draws, and seven losses record have hardly improved lately, and the only thing saving them from further downfall is that Athletico-PR is a little far at 8th.
Either way, they arrive in high spirits after beating Vitória 2-0. In their last five matches, they have scored four goals and received the same amount, showcasing that the defense keeps being solid, but the attack has been far from productive lately.
Alongside their triumph over Botafogo in the Copa do Brazil round of 16, they hope their recent success lifts them again and puts them in the fight for a top-four finish.
Betting Analysis: Grêmio vs. Bahia
At an earlier point in the season, we would have gone picking Bahia for sure, no questions asked. The team was looking like a pretty strong title contender, but now, it’s hard to back them up as they try to pick things back up.
On the other hand, the locals are on the rise like a Fenix and keep surprising everyone lately, especially thanks to their sharp attack. We expect this match to be tight as, even at their lowest, Bahia is a pretty solid team at the back, but we’ll go for a 1-0 victory for Grêmio.
Go for a win for the locals at 2.33. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $133 for a total payout of $233.
