Meeting statistics

The current form of Esporte Clube Bahia

With 10 victories in their last 14 home games, Bahia have demonstrated tenacity on their own pitch. The team commanded by Rogério Ceni enters this game fresh from a close 1-0 victory over Criciúma, demonstrating their capacity to persevere through difficult times to achieve positive outcomes.

The ”Tricolor” is 13-6-9, with a goal differential of 39:31. They have performed exceptionally well, especially at home, where they lost only two this season, which makes them a formidable foe for any visiting squad.

The current form of CR Flamengo

Unlike their next rivals, Flamengo, which is coached by Filipe Luís, has recently had a mixed bag of results, but managed to keep composure. They just defeated Athletico Paranaense 1-0 in their most recent game. Flamengo have a solid overall record, especially in their matches against Bahia, and are still dangerous opponents despite their recent troubles.

The “Rubro-Negro” (the Scarlet-Black) have scored 43 goals and given up 32 in their 14 wins, six ties, and seven losses. Despite having a strong away record of five victories, three draws, and five losses, their recent performance has been subpar, as they have only won one of their past five games in all competitions. This discrepancy might be very important to how they fare against a tough Bahia team.

Head-to-head

Flamengo have won 10 of their previous meetings against Bahia, as well as 18 of 28 head-to-heads (Bahia prevailed five times). The most recent encounter concluded in a narrow 1-0 victory for the Rio de Janeiro side, showcasing their dominance in the match-up and increasing psychological pressure on Bahia as they attempt to turn the tide. Regardless of that, Flamengo are 3.05 on TornadoBet, while Bahia are 2.35.

Match analytics

In conclusion, Bahia are the clear favorites going into this game because of their impressive home record and Flamengo’s patchy away performance. With the mental edge garnered from previous matches in the Brazilian Championship, Bahia will be determined to clinch a key victory in which both teams will net at least once.
