On June 1, Arena Fonte Nova (Salvador) will host the second leg of the 1/8 final match of the Copa do Brasil, in which Bahia will compete with Santos. The battle will start at 00:00 CET.

Bahia

The team twice became the champion of the country. Still, “the Tricolor” played, and for quite a long time, at the level of the third division of Brazil at the beginning of the century. It goes without saying that it quickly promoted to the elite division, but repeatedly was relegated again. The club also had to play in the Serie B in the previous year. Fortunately, the 4th place, which was taken there, was enough to get a new ticket to the top. The statistics at the old-new level are generally negative so far, but this is generally quite expected. The team takes the victories from time to time, thanks to which it is able to keep a distance from the relegation zone. At the same time, Bahia’s performance in the Copa do Brasil is pretty decent. It defeated Volta Redonda there (with a 4-0 score at the home arena), after which there happened an away draw in the first leg of the 1/8 final match against Santos.

Santos

The club claims to be the most popular one all over Brazil. And it is not surprising, because it is native to such iconic football players as Pelé and Neymar. Still, one can only add to the asset the final of the Copa Libertadores 2020, where the team was defeated. For instance, the previous draw in the Serie A brought only the 12th place. It would seem that it was relatively easy to show progress with such a background. Nevertheless, it is not particularly noticeable. The victory over Blooming in the first round of the Copa Sudamericana remains the only one; there are practically no chances of reaching the play-offs. Speaking about the Serie A, on the contrary, the team gradually managed to add in the game, winning more and more often and rising step by step in the standings of Brasileiro.

The statistics of head-to-head matches

Bahia took 7 points in 3 head-to-head matches in 2021. Having met after a pause, Santos won with a 3-0 score at the home arena in the Serie A in May. The cup tournament brought a goalless draw.

Predictions

Bookmakers consider Bahia to be the favourite of the confrontation. It plays at the native arena, thus, we can agree and bet on the victory of the hosts, but with “a 0 goal handicap” (odd: 1.77).
