Bahia take on the visitors Fluminense at “Arena Fonte Nova” in the round 12 of the Brazilian Serie A. The game will be played in Salvador on Sunday, July 9th.
Bahia joined the elite division at the start of this season and at the moment they are not able to play on equal with the best teams of the country. Jorginho‘s side no-win streak counts for six encounters and has been lasting since the 13th of June. The team recorded four defeats and two draws during that run. After 11 matchdays in the Serie A, “Tricolors” settle on the 16th place in the table with 11 points earned and 13-14 goal difference. Bahia conducted five clashes in front of their supporters resulting in nine points gained, 12 goals for and seven goals against. However, it should be noted that the team lost its two recent games at the home field with 2:5 aggregated score.

On the contrary, Fluminense recorded five-match unbeaten series covering two triumphs and three draws. After 11 rounds “Time de Guerreiros” sits on the seventh position in the standings with 16 points taken and 20-19 goal difference. Fluminense picked up seven points with nine goals for and eight goals against in five away encounters.
Fluminense have not been defeated by Bahia in last six head-to-heads having got five victories and one draw in them. Still, the rivals met for the last time in 2014. Taking into consideration the teams’ head-to-head statistics, plus their results in recent games, I believe that “Flu” will manage to take some points against Bahia again.
Prediction for the match: Fluminense to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
