Vasco vs Bahia Prediction & Betting Tips (29 October)

Bahia would love nothing better than to dent the promotion bid of their rivals, but a 15-game winless run on their second-tier travels, including five defeats on the bounce, suggests that such a result is likely to prove beyond them. As for Vasco, they have enjoyed eight wins in their last nine matches in front of their own supporters at this level.

Over the course of their last 13 matches at the top table of the Serie A Betano, Bahia have not been involved in too many thrillers, with two goals or fewer being served up ten times. It has been a similar story in Vasco home games at this level of late, as under 2.5 goals has been the order of the day 13 times out of a possible 18, so this pattern is expected to continue.

At least one of the two goalkeepers has emerged with a clean sheet from each of the previous five Vasco matches in the Serie A Betano, so there is no reason to see this pattern changing against Bahia. One reason for this is that it has also been the case in each of the Toffees’ last three away games at this level, so both teams are on the same page.
