Football Bet of the Day: Warriors to put up a fight

Vitoria BA v Brasil de Pelotas
Tuesday 23:30

There was heartbreak in the land of love last night. Sampdoria's 91st-minute winner destroyed SPAL's dreams and, because that was the game's only goal, we're also having to pick ourselves up off the floor today. We've come to Brazil to cheer ourselves up.

There's a choice of Serie B matches taking place tonight. Our pick is 15th-placed Vitoria BA versus 11th-placed Brasil de Pelotas. The visitors have scored six times across their last four away games and, although they are trading at around 5.805/1 for the win tonight, we fancy they grab a goal and deliver a BTTS bet at a nice price.

Over a slightly longer period, the Warriors have actually now scored in 5/7 away games. At the other end, they have been reliably leaky, conceding in 9/11. Both teams have scored in exactly half of their 12 away games since the start of the season.

Hosts Vitoria are newly prolific on home turf. They have scored seven times across their last four appearances at Barradao. At the back, however, they have conceded at least once in all four of those games. The recent form of both teams suggests the 2.506/4 about BTTS tonight is a generous offer that should not be refused.
