Bahia take on the visitors Botafogo RJ at "Arena Fonte Nova" in the matchday 11 of the Brazilian Serie A. The game will be played in Salvador on Sunday, June 10th.
Bahia look awful at the start of the season and have many problems which don't allow the team to compete with the opponents. At this moment “Tricolor” is sitting on the pre-last position in the Serie A standings with eight points gained after 10 rounds behind. The club’s offense produces horrible performance in attack, having scored miserable six goals, however, its defense disappoints even more with 14 goals conceded. In the recent encounters hosted at their own turf Bahia have lost to Gremio 0:2, broke Vasco 3:0 and thrashed Blooming 4:0.

As for Botafogo RJ, the side demonstrates stable and consistent football in the Serie A every year, but the start of this season was not so successful for the team as "Fogao" currently occupies only the 12th place in the table with 13 points taken after 10 encounters played. “O Glorioso” produces quite solid football in attack, having scored 11 goals already unlike its defense which has certain problems resulted in 11 goals conceded. Botafogo RJ have beaten Vasco 2:1, failed 2:3 against Sao Paulo and lost 0:1 to America MG in the previous clashes conducted on the road.
Botafogo RJ have already earned four-game undefeated streak against Bahia. At this point both sides stay in a poor shape, thus, I believe that the forthcoming head-to-head will be typical for the Brazilian football in terms of scored goals.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.0 scored goals.
