Match Stats

Bahia faced a challenging start in the first leg against Botafogo but rallied to score a crucial goal late in the opening half to secure a draw.

This marked only the second time this year that Rogerio Ceni's team conceded in the Copa do Brasil, and the second instance in July where they came from behind to salvage a result after trailing 1-0.

A win on Wednesday would see them reach the Copa do Brasil quarter-finals in consecutive seasons for the first time since 2018.

Bahia has shown strength when scoring multiple goals, winning their last four matches in such scenarios and not losing since a narrow 3-2 defeat to Vitoria in the Campeonato Baiano final in late March.

Botafogo, after avoiding defeat in the first leg of a Copa do Brasil round of 16 clash for the first time since 2017, last reached the quarter-finals in that tournament edition.

They have been eliminated in the round of 16 stage in the last two campaigns but have a notable history of success in second-leg encounters at this stage, including a memorable 4-3 victory over Ceara in September 2014.

Currently riding a five-match unbeaten streak away from home across all competitions, Botafogo's recent 4-1 victory over Atletico Goianiense propelled them to the top of the Brasileiro Serie A standings, holding a slim lead over Flamengo, who have a game in hand.


Prediction:  Bahia 1-0 Botafogo
