Botafogo are averaging 3.69 goals per game in the Brazilian Serie A this season, which is the highest figure in the league by quite some distance.
They have seen 59 goals across their 16 matches, with 30 scored and 29 conceded, and their games have been incredibly open without much of a midfield presence. Both teams have scored in nine of Botafogo's last ten league matches, with over 2.5 goals landing in eight of those, which shows just how even their games tend to be.
There is just one point separating these sides in the standings, but Bahia have failed to win any of their last six league matches coming into this weekend. They will view this match as a great opportunity to take the three points, so we are likely to get another open contest. Over 2.5 has landed in six of the last seven games for Bahia across all competitions.
