Vasco da Gama hosts Bahia in round 18 of Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played on Saturday, September 7th at Estádio Vasco da Gama (Rio de Janeiro)
It can be said that Vasco da Gama is holding an unsuccessful season in the Brazilian Serie A. Vasco is located in the basement of the standings in dangerous proximity to the relegation zone. For some reason, it didn’t bother the bookmakers who made the Admiral a favorite in a duel with the solid middle-class team Bahia. Yes, of course, the team named after the great navigator sometimes showed good football within its arena in the current competition. But basically, the Giants have reached success due to the favorable attitude of the referees, who, for example, removed the player of Sao Paulo and two players of Fluminense from the field just when Vasco alone could not do anything with their counterparts. But it turned out to be much more difficult Vasco da Gama to win in equal squads. For example, it hadn’t managed to beat such teams in Rio De Janeiro recently: Flamengo (1:4), CSA (0:0), Atletico Mineiro (1:2), and even the main outsider of this season Avai (1:1)!

As for Bahia, it is trying to set a real unbeaten record, having already held 7 duels in a row without defeats, and three them were played away. Moreover, the Salvadorians managed to take away points not from anyone but the current champion of Brazil, powerful Palmeiras (a 2:2 draw), as well as traditionally strong Atletico Mineiro (a 2:1 victory).
I think that if the referees who like to help Vasco in its field do not intervene again, Bahia will calmly extend its successful streak to eight fights in a row! Finally, we can add that the visitors are not the most convenient opponent for the hosts in recent years, where the Tricolor has a significant statistical advantage.
Prediction for the match: Bahia to win with +0.5 handicap
