Palmeiras VS Bahia

Palmeiras’ only two recent wins came on their home turf, and while the side boasts solid overall quality, they have just suffered three consecutive home defeats that have dented their morale, a sharp drop from their earlier long run of multiple straight victories. Bahia sits a rung below Palmeiras in overall form and recent record, but they are far from a pushover, with consistent attacking threat and a pretty solid defensive track record of their own. The current market projections do not align with either side’s recent attacking and defensive performances, nor their historical head-to-head records. Both teams have more than enough to pose a real threat to each other, no side holds a clear overwhelming edge heading into this fixture, and it remains to be seen which side will step up first to seize the early initiative in this clash.
