My Prediction
Ceará by 1Alright sports enthusiasts, let's examine the Brasileiro Série A matchup between Bahia and Ceará. We're in for a tantalizing match, considering the previous encounters and statistical prowess of these teams.
Through the goalposts for Ceará, we've got Bruno Ferreira boasting a 6.90 rating with 9 saves this season. Meanwhile, Bahia's footballing pawns in the goalkeeper arena are Ronaldo, with his decent 7.00 rating and 11 saves alongside Marcos Felipe holding fort with his 6.60 rating and 3 saves.
With respect to the cast on the pitch, Ceará brings out top players such as Pedro Raul, who has shown quite the kick, with a 7.53 rating, and 4 goals to his name this season. Matheus Bahia and Dieguinho are also worthy of note, holding ratings over 7.0 and commendable pass accuracy.
Hold your applause, because Bahia matches this head-on featuring their chessmen: Luciano Juba with a 7.57 rating and a goal, Erick Pulga and Gilberto each scoring with over 85% accurate pass rate.
Now, if we roll back to June 2021, Bahia took the victory against Ceará with a 2-1 scoreline. Hope the odds are still in their favor this time around, eh?
However, reviewing the regular season records tells another story as Ceará stands with 2 wins, a draw, and a loss compared to Bahia's less impressive scorecard with 3 draws and a single loss.
Looking at their recent match outcomes, Ceará seems to be in slightly better form with 2 wins against Vasco and Grêmio, despite a loss to Juventude and draws against Red Bull Bragantino and Cuiabá. Bahia, on the other hand, has come off a hard-fought draw against Mirassol, Santos, and Corinthians with a loss to Cruzeiro.
After sifting through all these stats, and making my secret sauce prediction (no, you can't have the recipe), I'm leaning towards Ceará, given their recent schedule and form, notwithstanding Bahia being the favorites.
