Parana vs Bahia Soccer Prediction for Today
Paraná left the lantern of the Brazilian championship in a vibrant performance against Fluminense in the last round and won with authority after opening 2 to 0 on the scoreboard and give a little bit in the last minute.
The team is slowly getting into the hands of Rogerio Micale and the return of Biteco with goal after 1 year off the pitch is of utmost importance for the team to emulate a good sequence in the competition.
The striker Carlos has suffered a sprain and will still be reevaluated, in the remainder, the team must be the same and plays again in Vila Capanema, where he made a great campaign in 2017 that guaranteed him access to this year’s Serie A and knows that he needs to defend the field command with a tooth and nail if he wants to remain in the division.
In a bad phase, Bahia has a similar campaign with Paraná and is ahead of them in the table, being the 18th place while the paranistas are the 19th. But the atmosphere in the club is much worse, with strong pressure, the Bahians only have 1 win, 2 draws and 4 losses in the last 7 games, and in all their defeats the team has lost since the first stage, even suffering two goals or more by more than once.
The last home defeat for the Gremio culminated in the dismissal of coach Guto Ferreira and the board has not yet hired a substitute, so who will be on the edge of the lawn in this duel is interim Claudio Prates, who made a mystery about the lineup and considered to rest some players due to the great physical wear and tear they present.
Prediction Parana vs Bahia:
It is still too early to say whether Parana will climb on the table or not, but it is undeniable that psychologically the team is in better condition for today’s match, and by the size of the delivery of their players in the last game, even gives a discount on their technical limitations, something that has not been happening in Bahia, which besides being also a limited team (less than Paraná), still has played passively and accepting the pressure of opponents. It was so in all four games as a visitor, where in all the tricolor Bahia suffered at least two goals, he did not score any and he went missing since the break.
Maybe Parana does not have enough quality to beat Bahia, but I think I’m strong enough to push them against the wall from the beginning of the game and repeat what I did against the Flu.
