Guess
Caio Vinícius – ENM Sector:
I believe that, with the home advantage, Bahia can surprise Flamengo, who is coached by the new coach, Felipe Luís. Despite this, Bahia also has a good team that can grow with the strength of its fans. I believe the match will end 1-0 for Bahia.
Franquilin Carvalho – ENM Sector:
Bahia is focused, has the strength of its fans, and is looking for a direct place in the Libertadores. It’s a straight duel. The famous six point game.
A triumph will bring the Tricolor level on points with Flamengo, without exceeding the play-off criteria, but in this way they will remain steadfast in their fight to reach the final goal in the Brasileirão. Furthermore, there is the taboo that Rogério Ceni has never beaten Flamengo. You will win tomorrow. The team wins the match 2-1.
