Jequie vs Barcelona Prediction & Betting Tips (20 January)

Jequie have been cooking with gas on their own patch of late, recording 13 consecutive home victories in the Baiano, one of which was a success against Barcelona in their last H2H meeting. Speaking of the visitors, they have not been particularly strong on their travels of late, suffering 13 defeats in 20 trips, so this test is likely to prove too severe.

Six of the last eight Jequie home games in the Baiano have served up under 2.5 goals, so the Jequie have not brought much excitement which will end up ending disappointed. For their part, Barcelona are renowned for keeping things tight, with seven of their previous ten away fixtures in the top-flight producing no more than a couple of goals.

At least one of the two goalkeepers has emerged with a clean sheet from 15 of the previous 18 league games involving Barcelona, and both of their meetings with Jequie last season finished goalless. Speaking of the hosts, eight of their most recent 12 home matches have followed the same pattern, so anyone expecting a thriller is likely to be disappointed by this contest.
