My Prediction
Bahia by 1Let's dive into this heady matchup between Bahia and São Paulo, shall we? In one corner, we've got Bahia, with Marcos Felipe between the sticks, who seems to have transformed his gloves into flypaper, with an impressive 16 saves to his name. São Paulo's shielder of the net, Rafael, on the other hand, has also managed a reasonable job, if not as many saves.
If we're talking talent, Sao Paulo is not slacking with the likes of Ferreira and Ruan showing off their passing skills. Robert Arboleda, despite being a defender, also managed to tickle the twine a bit with a goal. As for Bahia, it's same song, second verse with Santiago Ramos Mingo and Erick Pulga at the forefront. And let's give a quick nod to Cauly who's been doing his job by hitting the net.
Now, if we're hauling out the history books to look at past skirmishes, São Paulo has been more than living up to the legacy, turning Bahia into their whipping boys more often than not.
However, nostalgia isn't cutting it at the moment, is it? Having a look at their recent performances, we have Bahia walking tall with a more favorable record. São Paulo is lagging behind, turning up a lot more draws than victories this time around.
Norman Mailer once wrote, "There is no greater impotence in all the world like knowing you are right and that the wave of the world is wrong, yet the wave crashes upon you.”
Okay, enough with the musings I say, it's time to lay down the money where the mouth is.
