Sao Paulo vs Bahia Predictions

• Sao Paulo are on a four-match winless run
• Bahia have been victorious in six of their last nine league outings
• There hosts have lost two of their five home fixtures this season

Can Sao Paulo arrest miserable run?

It’s now four games without a win for Sao Paulo, a run that has seen them suffer a pair of disappointing defeats to Cuiaba (1-0) and Vasco de Gama (4-1).

The former of those results was at Cícero Pompeu de Toledo Stadium, where Luis Zubeldía’s side have now lost twice in just five league outings.

The other of those reversals came against Fortaleza back in April, but it is the recent results that provide cause for concern, as ‘O Clube da Fé’ have been dropping points against teams at the wrong end of the table.

Bahia flying high

Their opponents on the other end head into the weekend in second place in the table, behind leaders Flamengo only on goal difference.

They have won six of their last nine outings in Serie A, including back-to-back 2-1 successes against Cruzeiro and Vasco de Gama.

Indeed, Rogério Ceni’s side have only lost one of their last 11 league outings, and that came against the team above them in the table, while they have registered a pair of away wins from their last five attempts across all competitions.

I predict that Bahia will win this game, with 2-1 to the visitors my correct score prediction.
