REF’s picks

Cruzeiro are favoured at home given their superior league position and recent momentum, but Bahia remain capable of snatching a result if the hosts' defensive absentees take a toll.

1. 1Cruzeiro's impressive home form and higher table standing make them the logical favourites.
2. 2An unpredictable defensive line due to suspensions introduces enough risk to keep this market competitive.
