My Prediction
Corinthians by 2Diving into this Bahia vs. Corinthians matchup, it's shaping up to be somewhat of a spicy affair. Let's dissect this a bit, shall we?
On one side of the pitch, we have Bahia with goalkeepers Marcos Felipe and Danilo Fernandes. Felipe has 106 saves under his belt with a 7.23 rating, always handy to have a reliable man between the sticks.
Flipping over to Corinthians, they are fortified by Hugo Souza and a promising young gun, Matheus Donelli standing guard in their box. Don't be quick to forget this fact, Donelli and Souza's ratings are a tad lower, but they've proven they can hold their weight with 73 and 29 saves respectively.
Now, if we're talking tempting players, Corinthians has quite a handful. Rodrigo Garro has been packing some heat scoring 10 times last season and Yuri Alberto, this man loves to keep the simulations on tippy-toes with an impressive 15 goals. Memphis Depay, a name which echoes around the pitch, knows his way around a football too, netting 7 goals last season.
Bahia, on the other hand, fans have their eyes peeled on the likes of Everton Ribeiro and Luciano Juba who've sunk balls into nets 2 and 3 times respectively in the last season. Gabriel Xavier and Cauly also seem to be in form, with Xavier dishing out 88.9 percent accurate passes and Cauly striking some decent blows with four goals to his name.
When we look at the tete-a-tete record between these two, Bahia might wince a bit. It's like watching a rerun of a horror movie - 1 win, 2 draws, and 2 losses. However, don't let that fool you. Underdogs are known to surprise.
Their recent performance is a mixed bag too. Corinthians comes armed with a five-match victory streak, while Bahia's games have been more like baking bread, containing a blend of win, loss, and draws. Last season, both the teams balanced on the same plank with 15 wins each, although Corinthians managed to squeeze in a few extra draws.
After slice and dicing, weighing every player, contemplating the goalkeepers, scrutinizing past records, and spitting out the chewed-out numbers, my crystal ball says:
