Bahia hosts Athletico Paranaense in round 6 of Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played on Friday, June 25th at Arena Fonte Nova (Salvador)
Bahia courageously started the new championship in Brazil. The Tricolors suffered only one defeat in five matches (0-1 against Internacional). The team gained two victories in the last five games. One of them was achieved in the cup match versus Vila Nova (1-0). On aggregate, Dado Cavalcanti’s men advanced to the 1/8 finals. Interestingly, Bahia played three out of five last matches at home. And it managed to score only in one of them (the abovementioned 1-0 victory over Vila Nova). At the same time, the Tricolors scored five times in two away matches (2-1 with Ceara and 3-3 with Bragantino).

Unlike other teams from the top of the Brazilian championship, Athletico Paranaense played only four games. But this does not prevent the Red-Blacks from taking second place in the standings. And they are so high due to four victories in all starting matches. Beyond that, Athletico Paranaense eliminated Avai in the Brazilian Cup (2-1 on aggregate) and tied against Parana (0-0) in the quarterfinals of Campeonato Paranaense. Let’s note that the Red-Blacks did not concede in four out of five matches. And no more than one goal was scored in three out of five games.
None of the last five head-to-head matches ended in a draw in regulation time. Athletico Paranaense won in three out of five cases, and Bahia gained two victories. The host side scored in four out of five matches, and the score was 1-0 in the same number of games. Bahia scored only one goal in their last three home games. At the same time, the team could not win in three out of five last matches at the native stadium. On the other hand, Athletico Paranaense won four of their last five matches and conceded in only one of them. There is a feeling that the hosts will have problems with upsetting the opponents’ goalkeeper.
Prediction for the match: Bahia to score under 0.5 goals
