On July 8, Arena Pantanal (Cuiaba) will host the match of the 14th round of the Brazilian Serie A, in which Cuiaba will compete with Bahia. The battle will start at 21:00 CET.

Cuiaba

The club won the right to debut in the Serie A in 2021. At the same time, that was the way how “the Green-Gold from the Lowland” celebrated the 20th anniversary. This is one of the youngest projects in Brazil. Still, it has already become the champions for 12 times, however, at the level of the native state, Mato Grosso, and twice more, it also took the regional Copa Verde (in 2015 and 2019). Having reached a new, maximum for the country, level, the team took a fairly high, 16th place. Nowadays, it manages to take one more step “up” and claim for a ticket to the Copa Sudamericana for the next draw. At the same time, June ended with the defeats not only made by the leader, Botafogo (a 0-1 score), but also by the newcomer-outsider, Vasco da Gama. Nevertheless, the team took a devastating 3-0 victory in the battle against Santos – that success allowed climbing to the 13th position in the current standings.

Bahia

The team periodically rose to the very top, it even became the champion of Brazil in 1959 and 1988. Still, on the other hand, the club had to spend 2006-2007 in the third division of the country, and, once again, it managed to be promoted to the elite division from the Serie B – even if it finished in the last, for the higher mentioned purpose, 4th place. “The Tricolor”, taking into account the conditions, was considered as an underdog of the current draw, and even started with a couple of defeats. Still, it turned out to recover, consistently beating both Vasco da Gama and Curitiba, in May. At the same time, that success was followed only by 1 victory, but in the battle against Palmeiras; the other matches brought not more than draws, moreover, the previous rounds, which are characterized by the struggles with Fluminense and Gremio, did not give any opportunity to get even a single point (both matches ended with the same result – 1-2).

The statistics of head-to-head matches

The clubs met with each other only in the Serie A of 2021. Then they exchanged the draws: 0-0 and 1-1.

Predictions

Bookmakers consider Cuiaba, which will play at the home arena, to have good chances to win. Still, both teams are far from the best results – thus, it is reasonable to bet on “total: under 2.5” (odd: 1.65).
