Both clubs come into the encounter on divergent runs – Atletico Paranaense have scraped a single win in their last five, whereas Bahia have collected four victories out of five. Their recent head‑to‑head shows Bahia winning two of the last five meetings, but three fixtures have produced goals on both sides.

Bez's Verdict

Strong
Both teams to score - Yes Won Strong lean Strong · High BTTS probability

With a 64.8% BTTS probability and recent fixtures featuring multiple goals on both ends, the model strongly favours both sides finding the back of the net.

Show the maths
The model adds Atletico Paranaense’s 1.8 expected goals at home to Bahia’s 1.5 expected away goals, arriving at a combined xG of 3.3 for the match. Historically, a combined xG above 3.0 translates to a BTTS likelihood above 60%, which aligns with the model’s 64.8% BTTS forecast. The over 2.5 probability of 64% further underlines the expectation of multiple goals, making both‑teams‑to‑score the most probable outcome.
Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score
Both Teams to Score — Yes Won 64.8% model probability

With Atletico Paranaense averaging 1.8 expected goals and Bahia averaging 1.5, the model gives a 64.8% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 35.2% it gives to at least one side being kept out.

Show the maths
BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (Atletico Paranaense 1.8, Bahia 1.5) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 64.8% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 35.2% where at least one side is shut out.
Pick 3 · Total Goals
Over 2.5 Goals Won 64.0% model probability

Combined expected goals of 3.3 (Atletico Paranaense 1.8 + Bahia 1.5) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 64.0% chance against 36.0% for Under.

Show the maths
Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (Atletico Paranaense 1.8 + Bahia 1.5 = 3.3 combined): 64.0% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 36.0% finishing with 2 or fewer.
Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Atletico Paranaense at 44.9%, the draw at 22.8%, and Bahia at 32.3% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-1 at 10.0% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.
