Bahia 11/10 to beat Fortaleza in Wednesday’s Brazil Serie A showdown

Competition: Brazil Serie A

Market: Bahia win

Odds: 11/10 @ 888sport

With the chance to continue on what has been an eye-catching run of form on home soil, Bahia will host Fortaleza on Wednesday night.

Starting with the hosts, enjoying what has been a very impressive run of form on home soil, Bahia have their sights firmly set on breaking into the Copa Libertadores positions. In their 19 Serie A contests this season, they have recorded six wins, four draws and nine defeats, scoring 24 and conceding 28 in return. Collecting a points tally of 22 and opening the midweek fixtures sat 14th in the table, they currently find themselves sat just two points adrift of breaking into the top-12. As for their recent run of results, collecting back-to-back victories across all competitions, Bahia have also lost just two of their last six Serie A contests. More impressive, it should also be noted that Wednesday’s hosts have won each of their last four home fixtures on the bounce, conceding just a single strike on that winning run.

As for the visitors, while Fortaleza might still find themselves occupying a spot in the Copa Libertadores positions, they are a squad who find themselves in the midst of a worrying rut. In their 18 Serie A contests so far this year, they have recorded six wins, six draws and 17 defeats, scoring 17 and conceding 14 in return. Collecting a points tally of 24, they open Wednesday’s fixtures sat 11th in the table and holding just a two-point buffer over the midweek hosts and losing their spot in the top-12. As for their recent run of results, Fortaleza have lost each of their last three matchups on the bounce across all formats and they have also managed to win just one of their last four top-flight appearances. Also failing to win any of their previous seven Serie A fixtures on the road, we’re backing a home victory on Wednesday night.
