Palmeiras to keep their title hopes alive against Bahia
Bahia vs Palmeiras - 17/11/2019
2862
On Sunday night, Palmeiras take their title-challenge to Bahia, as they look to keep up their hopes of catching league leaders Flamengo alive.
The home sides hopes of claiming a Copa Libertadores spot this season have been hampered by a poor recent run of form. They are now seven points off the Copa Libertadores qualifying spots.
However, despite a six-game winless run, consisting of four wins and two draws, Bahia are still in the Copa Sudamericana positions, four points clear of the teams outside of the leagues top 12. Just one clean sheet in eight league games has hindered their chances of a top-six finish this season.
Bahia’s home form has been poor of late in Serie A, as they have recorded just one victory in their last seven league outings at the Arena Fonte Nova. Both teams have scored in four of Bahia’s last five home games.
Palmeiras are second place in the Brazilian top-flight table, 11 points behind leaders Flamengo, with a game in-hand. The visitors are unbeaten in their last eight Serie A games, having recorded six victories.
Last time out, they drew 1-1 at home against Corinthians. Their recent league outings in the Brazilian top-flight have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in eight of their last 11 outings.
The visitor’s recent away form has not helped their title challenge, as they have won just four of their last seven away games in Serie A. They have, however, won their last two away games in the Brazilian top-flight against Avai and last time out Vasco da Gama.
Palmeiras have had the better of recent meetings, as they are seven games unbeaten against the home side in all competitions.
Forebet predicts that Palmeiras will extend that unbeaten run against Bahia by recording a narrow victory in a high-scoring game.
