Match description

The slight favorites are the visitors – Botafogo: in the last 5 matches they average 2.0 points per game with 3 wins and a goal difference of 10–5, whereas Bahia in their last 5 matches have averaged only 0.4 points and have no wins (7–10 goals). Bahia’s home metrics favor them: home xG 1.64, 14.5 shots and 5.75 shots on target on average, and 55% possession, versus Botafogo’s away xG 1.30, 11.44 shots and 49% possession. Botafogo are more efficient however – away shot conversion rate 15% versus Bahia’s 10%, and they score 1.67 goals away on average versus Bahia’s 1.50 at home. Defensively on the season Bahia concede less at home (1.13 goals conceded per game) than Botafogo away (1.89), but the last 5 matches show the opposite trend (Botafogo conceded 5 goals in 5, Bahia 10), so I assign a 45% chance to a Botafogo win, 30% to a Bahia win and 25% to a draw.
