Bahia vs America Mineiro Predictions

Saturday’s Brazilian Serie A action features a clash between Bahia and America Mineiro. The hosts will be looking to further extend their already impressive home record to pick up a good result.

Arriving 7 matches unbeaten and having advanced from the second round of the Copa Sudamericana in mid-week, spirits are high in Bahia ranks and they certainly come into this clash with plenty of momentum behind them. Tricolor are only outside of the Serie A drop zone on goal difference however, so they’ll need to keep up their strong performances to try and pull clear of relegation waters.

The fact that Bahia find themselves in such a precarious league position is down to one factor; their away performances. Whilst they’ve drawn their last two league outings on the road, they lost all 5 trips prior to said matches, meaning the vast majority of their 18 points have came on home soil, where they are are real force. The home crowd at the Itaipava Arena Fonte Nova have seen their team lose just 1 of their last 25 outings there and with 15 of those wins, hopes are high both in the stands and on the pitch ahead of Saturday’s clash.

Meanwhile, America Mineiro also take to the field in more than decent condition, 3 matches unbeaten and currently in the top half. As a newly promoted outfit, that certainly ranks as good going but just 3 points above the drop zone given the tight nature of the division, the visitors know they cannot afford to rest on their laurels.

Similarly to their opponent here, America are also a team that are far more comfortable on home territory. They did manage to win 1-0 at Santos in their last away outing, despite coming under sustained pressure throughout the match but have not looked strong at all on their travels, losing 4 of their last 5 games on the road and taking just 4 points there from 8 matches over the course of the season so far.

Ultimately, whilst both teams are playing quite well at the moment, one has to fancy Bahia to pick up the points and we’re more than happy to back them to win the match at fair odds.

Bahia play with real intensity when they are at home and that’s not something America have looked at all comfortable with in the action we’ve seen prior to this clash. America’s away record is a real concern up against such a strong host and with the visitors having lost 3 of their last 5 trips 1-0, that’s the scoreline that looks most likely come full time.
