Football Bet of the Day: Brazilian defences lack Steel

Santos v Bahia
Thursday 23:30

We have lift-off.

Airbus 3 Port Talbot 0 in Broughton last night. It seems that a slow start is key: 1-0 with just half an hour to go, Ryan Wignall searched and destroyed the Port Talbot defence twice over. Top gun.

The reward is a trip to Brazil, where Santos are running along eighth in the Campeonato. Pele's old club have won 7/8 at the Urbano Caldeira, scoring twice or more in all seven of those victories.

They should have no trouble finding ways through a Bahia defence that has conceded in 11/12 on the road, leaking seven times in the most recent four alone.

We're interested in what might happen at the other end. Santos have conceded in four of their last six home games. Despite winning only one of those 12 recent away games, the visiting Steelmen have hit the back of the net themselves in 11/14 on the road.
