Looking at their recent form, Bahia are in a bit of a slump-they have not won any of their last four games, with three draws and a narrow loss. Botafogo are also struggling to find wins, with three draws and a loss in their last five, though they did manage one victory. Both teams are in similar, shaky shape right now.

When these two have met before, it has been very tight and often low-scoring. Their last match ended in a goalless draw, and in five of their last six meetings, there have been two goals or fewer. With both sides struggling for form and their recent history being so close, this match looks like it could be a tight, cautious affair. A draw seems the most likely outcome here.
