Ten days ago, the first match of the 1/8 finals of the Brazilian football cup was played and both rivals in this duel have a positive result before the second leg. In Sao Paulo, it was 0-0. The season in Serie A has started in a big way and these two teams are in the middle of the table after 7 rounds.

What Bahia and Santos have in common is that they are in bad form lately. Bahia has not won since the beginning of May, more precisely in the last 5 matches. In the last Serie A match, they lost on the road against Internacional 2-0

Santos is without a win in the last 4 matches. They also lost all points in the previous round of the championship, Bragantino outplayed them on home ground also 2-0. Santos is one of the better domestic teams, but they play quite poorly in away games.

Bahia vs Santos pick: BAHIA TO WIN

It is precisely this bad tradition as well as the away form that could cost Santos a place in the 1/4 finals. Bahia has defeated Santos in 4 of their last 5 home matches. In general, this team wins a lot more points in their stadium and they see a great chance to place in the top 8 cup teams. Both are missing an equal number of players in the protocol due to injuries and suspensions, so that will not be the deciding factor. Our recommendation is to bet on the home team to win
