The emotions of the 2023 Brasileirão season continue, and with each passing matchday, we have new teams fighting for the different zones in the general classification table.
For now, we have Botafogo continuing with their impressive level of play, and they have escaped at the top of the table with 10 points ahead of their main pursuers, Flamengo and Gremio. Next, we have a tie between Fluminense, Palmeiras, and RB Bragantino with 24 points. Finally, from 7th to 12th place, we have a difference of only three points, so this matchday 15 can be decisive for several teams.
Conversely, we have America-MG, Vasco da Gama, Coritiba, and Goias as the teams currently occupying the relegation places. However, there is still a long way to go in the season, and anything can happen.
On this matchday 15, we will have the match between Altético Paranaense and Bahia, played this Sunday.

Why Bet on Bahia?
We start with the visiting team, Bahia, which has played a really disappointing season so far and is looking to change their situation in this visit to Paranaense.
Bahia currently sits in 16th place in the overall standings, just two points above the relegation zone, with a terrible record of 3 wins, 4 draws, and 7 defeats. In addition, it is worth noting that the team has shown many offensive and defensive deficiencies in the first 14 games, so their record matches perfectly with their level of play.
Bahia enters this match after winning only one of their last five games. However, they did manage to pick up a point thanks to a 1-1 draw against Cuiabá in their last match.
Why Bet on Athletico-PR?
On the other hand, we have Paranaense, one of the teams that had accustomed us to be in the upper part of the table fighting for the top positions of the Brasileirão, but this season they have shown a completely different level.
Paranaense is a team that lacks regularity and strength when defining matches. As a result, they are currently ranked 11th in the general classification table with a record of 6 wins, 2 draws, and 6 defeats. In addition, the team currently has a goal difference of 0, having scored and conceded 18 goals in 14 games.
Like Bahia, Paranaense comes into this matchday with the firm conviction of returning to winning ways, as their last match was a 0-1 defeat against Fortaleza away from home.
Final Betting Analysis: Athletico-PR vs. Bahia
Atletico Paranaense dominates the series in the last 20 matches with 11 wins, while Bahia has 6 wins, and 3 games have ended in draws.
Whatsoever, Paranaense has won the last two matches against Bahia with a score of 2-1.
At MyBookie.ag, there is a Moneyline that favors Athletico-PR at -163, while Bahia starts at +460.
This is a game of redemption for both teams, as both are eager to return to winning ways. Even if they are in difficult moments, we expect the home side to capitalize and take all three points. As a result, our prediction is a 1-0 win for Atletico Paranaense.
Look for a straight win on the Moneyline Athletico-PR. If you put $100 on Athletico-PR at -163, you’ll see a $61.35 win with a total payout of $161.35.
