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
