Football Bet of the Day: Grandpa looks a bit rickety at the back

Bahia v Ceara SC Fortaleza
Monday 23:30

In Germany yesterday, it was tragedy for Wagner as Schalke went down 0-2 at Hoffenheim. The visitors took Kev down with them, but you know he'll be back. A week today, in fact. In the meantime, we're launching into our shift from Brazil.

Eighth-placed Bahia host 17th-placed Ceara in Serie A tonight, Last season, the hosts won this fixture 2-1 and we like the big price on both teams to score again this evening.

Roger Machado's Bahia are an overall W7-D4-L2 at home this term, but just W3-D4-L2 since winning their first four home matches of the season. They have conceded in almost half of those matches (6/13) and could be vulnerable at the back tonight.

Visiting Ceara are a dismal W1-D2-L10 on their travels this season and have failed to keep a single clean sheet. However, Grandpa has recently scored in 4/5, including all of the last three. Over a longer period, they've found the back of the net in 7/12. They go up against a shaky backline tonight and we fancy they can help us land a 2.447/5 punt on BTTS.
