Santos FC and Bahia head into this second leg of the Round of 16 of the Brazil Cup. The first leg ended in a goalless draw and both teams have all to play for in the return match at the Arena Fonte Nova. Santos FC has a better history in this competition and they are just one game away from the quarterfinals. My recommended betting pick in this game is an away win or draw for Santos FC. Here's why you should bet on this option;

FIRST REASON

Bahia had a much easier fixture in the previous game, beating Volta Redonda. They have a very tough task against Santos FC and they didn't create much danger in the first leg. Bahia is on a poor run of form currently and they have not won any of their last five matches. In the last five games, Bahia has lost three times and one of those defeats was against Santos FC in the Brazilian Serie A. Renato Paiva has led his team to just one point in the domestic league in their last three games and they have been very poor at the back. Santos FC has a better run at this stage of the season and they have lost only two of their last five matches. They are currently ahead of Bahia in the league and I expect them to get past the hosts to the next round.

SECOND REASON

Santos FC 's recent record against Bahia is very astonishing. They have not conceded a goal in their last three meetings against Renato Paiva's team. Odair Hellman's team has scored three goals in the last three meetings against Bahia and they beat the hosts few weeks ago in the league. A huge reason why Santos FC has thrived against Bahia is the difference in quality between these two teams and the visitors are likely to get a good result here. Santos FC needs a win in normal time to go through but the hosts might prove difficult and we could see another draw. However, the visitors have enough quality to go through against a team they beat 3-0 few weeks ago.

桑托斯和巴伊亚将进入巴西杯16强的第二回合。第一回合以0比0的平局结束，两队都将在新星球馆的第二场比赛中全力以赴。桑托斯在这项比赛中有更好的历史，他们距离四分之一决赛只有一场比赛。在这场比赛中，我推荐的投注选择是桑托斯队的客场胜利或平局。以下是为什么你应该押注这个选项;

第一个原因

在上一场比赛中，巴伊亚击败了沃尔塔·雷东达，比赛要轻松得多。他们在对阵桑托斯的比赛中面临着非常艰巨的任务，他们在首回合并没有制造太多的危险。巴伊亚最近状态不佳，最近五场比赛一场也没赢。在过去的五场比赛中，巴伊亚输了三场，其中一场是在巴西甲级联赛对阵桑托斯的比赛中，雷纳托·佩瓦率领他的球队在最近的三场比赛中只拿到了一分，他们的后防线也非常糟糕。桑托斯足球俱乐部在本赛季的这个阶段表现更好，他们在最近的五场比赛中只输了两场。他们目前在联赛中领先巴伊亚，我希望他们能超越东道主进入下一轮。

第二个原因

桑托斯最近对巴伊亚的战绩非常惊人。他们在最近三次对阵雷纳托·佩瓦的球队中没有失球。海尔曼的球队在最近三次对阵巴伊亚的比赛中打入3球，他们几周前在联赛中击败了东道主巴伊亚。桑托斯在对阵巴伊亚的比赛中表现出色的一个重要原因是两队实力的差异，客队很可能在这里取得好成绩。桑托斯需要在正常时间内取得一场胜利才能出线，但东道主可能很难对付，我们可能会看到另一场平局。然而，客队有足够的实力去面对他们几周前3-0击败的球队。
