*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

Bahia beat Cruzeiro 4-1 in their last assignment to maintain their 100% home record this term and their ability to harness home advantage makes them tough to oppose this week and the bookie’s 8/13 favourites to prevail.

Vasco da Gama roared back from a goal down to beat Sao Paulo 4-1 in their last contest, though their form on the road is limp in comparison and they have yet to secure a single point on their travels this term. Unsurprisingly, they travel to Bahia as clear underdogs and they have just a 17.4% chance of upsetting the odds.

Player to watch – Óscar Estupiñán

Colombian attacker Óscar Estupiñán is currently on loan with Bahia from English Championship side Hull City, though the 27-year-old has been toiling a little in his attempts to become a first-team fixture in Brazil so far.

Estupiñán the super sub?

Óscar Estupiñán did make a splash in Bahia’s last match however, netting twice off the bench in their 4-1 win over Cruzeiro, breaking his duck in Serie A in the process and his impact as a substitute should enhance his chances of staking a claim for a first-team spot.
