Bahia vs Cuiaba Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 13th July 2024

Bookmakers favour Bahia to win against Cuiaba in their next Serie A match. This takes place on Saturday with the hosts in decent form, and a win seems quite likely. Naturally, Cuiaba will put up a fight at the Bahia's stadium, though.

Bahia approach round 17 as number 4 in the Serie A table with 30 points on their account so far. With 16 rounds behind them, Cuiaba have amassed 14 points, placing them as number 16 in the standings.

Bahia are looking for revenge after succumbing to a disappointing defeat in the last meeting against Cuiaba. Judging by the odds from the bookmakers, they have a good chance of making it.

Bahia step into their next home match on Saturday having scored a nice average of 1.7 goals in ten matches. They managed a total of 17 goals, while also allowing 13 goals against. That is an average of 1.3 goals against per match. They were able to hang on to a clean sheet two times in those matches.

When it comes to goal-scoring Cuiaba are not the most prolific side. They scored a sustainable 16 times in their previous ten matches, making it 1.6 goals per game. They conceded nine goals for an average of 0.9 a game, achieving a clean sheet in four of these matches.

The last time these two teams faced off against each other, Cuiaba came away as 0-3 winners. No doubt they are planning a similar outcome this coming Saturday.

Bahia vs Cuiaba Prediction

Bahia Form

Bahia added two wins to their account in their three most recent outings, as they beat Juventude by 2-0. Their next match left them empty-handed in a 2-0 defeat against Palmeiras, followed up by a 1-3 win against Athletico Paranaense. Bahia have been nothing short of fabulous at their home ground in the six most recent Serie A matches here. They quite simply claimed a maximum 18 points, scoring 11 while conceding two goals. Naturally, this is the best points total in the Serie A across the last six games.

Standards are high at a club like Bahia and as such the season is so far going according to plan.

Cuiaba Form

Cuiaba have been a tad mediocre in their last three matches where a win has failed to come their way. Against Red Bull Bragantino, they gained a 1-1 draw, before coming up short against Botafogo RJ, who ran out 1-2 winners. Lately, they finished even in a 1-1 draw with Flamengo. Cuiaba claimed two wins against two draws and two defeats in their last six away matches in the Serie A. The scoreline from these matches reads seven goals conceded and nine scored.

Cuiaba entered the season dreaming of medals, but find themselves far off track following a lousy run of form.

Bahia are well up for the task of building on their current momentum, and we expect them to deliver the goods in their upcoming clash at Bahia's stadium against visitors Cuiaba.

Bahia took 12 points from their last seven encounters with teams from the bottom half of the Serie A table. This amounts to three wins after scoring 11 times and conceding eight. Cuiaba claimed one wins and four points in their last five games against teams from the top six. They scored four times in these matches, but also conceded seven goals. Bahia have a record of nine wins, three draws and four defeats in the Serie A this season. Cuiaba enjoy a record of three wins, five draws and seven defeats in the Serie A.
