Bahia vs Ceara Betting Tips - BTTS
Both sides come into Wednesday's Copa do Nordeste tie in great form and a competitive contest with plenty of chances at both ends seems likely.
Bahia claimed a 1:1 draw against Vitoria in their most recent encounter after an impressive four-game winning run over the past fortnight. Sitting top of the Copa do Nordeste Group B, Rodrigo Ceni´s side have picked up ten points from four games played, scoring 11 goals in the process.
Particularly strong on their own patch, Bahia claimed eight victories while losing only one of their last ten home fixtures.
While in great form, the hosts can expect a stiff test on Wednesday with fellow Serie A opponents Ceara also enjoying a strong run of results since the turn of the year.
Indeed, Léo Condé´s side have been in brilliant form, claiming 11 wins while remaining unbeaten in their last 14 games across all competitions.
A fine run of results on the road has seen Ceara win each of their last five games, while they scored at least one goal in all but three of their last 20 away fixtures.
Low stakes are advised with this cup competition often throwing up surprise results, but I´ll be backing BTTS with both of these sides in such strong form.
