Brazil football flag — Botafogo are Brazil's best hosts right now

Botafogo are in brilliant home form and Tobias Gourlay expects them to take all three points off Bahia in Brazil tonight

Botafogo have won 10/10 at home in Serie A
Bahia have lost 6/10 on the road
Back Botafogo to win by a couple

Botafogo v Bahia
Sunday 20:00

In the MLS overnight, FC Cincinnati breezed past NYCFC 3-0 to land our win bet. Win again today and we'll end the week in profit.

We end in South America. Botafogo are hosting Bahia in Brazil's Serie A and we fancy the hosts to win with something to spare.

Bruno Lage's Botafogo are a perfect W10-D0-L0 at the Nilton Santos. They've outscored their visitors by a combined 23-3. In 8/10 wins - including all of the last six - the margin of victorey was at least a couple of goals.

Promoted Bahia are W1-D3-L6 on the road this season. They've found the net only four times across those 10 games - and not at all in the last three. They've conceded at least twice in 5/6 defeats and the margin of defeat was 2+ in 3/6. At an odds-against price, we'll take them to lose with something to spare today.

Back Botafogo -1.0 on the Asian Handicap @ 2.47/5
