Gremio 7/10 to beat Bahia and over 1.5 goals for Wednesday’s Serie A contest

Posted January 5th, 2021 | By: Tom Dunstan

Competition: Brazil Serie A

Market: Gremio win and over 1.5 goals

Odds: 7/10 @ 888sport

Looking to extend on what has been a hugely impressive purple patch on home soil, Gremio will host relegation scrappers Bahia late on Wednesday night.

Starting with the hosts, continuing on what was an eye-catching run of form when drawing a close to 2020, Gremio still have an automatic Copa Libertadores spot at the top of their agenda. In their 26 Serie A matchups so far this season, they have recorded 11 wins, 12 draws and just three defeats, scoring 35 and conceding 22 in return. Along with collecting a points tally of 45 and sitting just two points adrift of breaking into the top-four, it should also be noted that Gremio hold the joint-best attacking record in the division. As for their recent run of results, Wednesday’s hosts are unbeaten in each of their last four matchups across all formats and they have tasted defeat just once since way back on October 11th. More impressive, the top-four chasers have won each of their last seven straight Serie A contests on home soil, bagging over 1.5 goals in each of those victories.

As for the visitors, enduring what was a hugely worrying run of form when entering the New Year, Bahia find themselves at the heart of a relegation scrap. In their 27 Serie A matchups so far this season, they have recorded eight wins, four draws and 15 defeats, scoring 33 and conceding 48 in return. Collecting a points tally of 28 and with only their goal difference stopping them from dropping into the bottom-four, it is well worth highlighting that Bahia holds the worst-defensive record in Brazil’s top-tier. As for their recent run of results, getting hit with a 2-1 defeat against Internacional when heading into the festive break, Wednesday’s guests have lost each of their last six straight contests across all formats and they have failed to land a single victory since the end of November. Given the huge gulf in class between the two sides, we’re backing a routine home victory in midweek.
