Bahia take on the visitors Internacional in the round 27 match of Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played on Thursday, October 19th at Arena Fonte Nova (Salvador).
Bahia doesn't want to return to Serie B. The "Tricolor" have been a two-time national champion. However, they've had recent spells in the third division as well. Last year, the team spent their time in Serie B but managed to return promptly, albeit from the fourth position. As expected, the representative from Salvador is currently fighting to survive in the top tier. After winning 6-4 against Goias in the previous round, they managed to overtake them and climb to the "safety" sixteenth place, albeit with a minimal one-point gap.

Internacional delivered an impressive performance on the international stage. Not only did they advance from the group stage, but they also eliminated River Plate and Bolivar in the playoff matches. However, they suffered a dramatic loss to their compatriots from Fluminense in the semi-finals, after leading for a long time at home but conceding goals in the 81st and 87th minutes to end in a 2-2 draw. Now, they need to shift their focus to Serie A, where repeating last year's second-place finish is nearly impossible. Moreover, it was only after defeating Gremio 3-2 in the previous round that they managed to climb to twelfth place, and the gap from their pursuers remains minimal.
In recent years, Bahia managed to avoid defeat against Internacional only once, in 2020. All other matches consistently ended in favor of their opponents on any field. In May, the "Colorado" secured a comfortable 2-0 victory at home. This is a case where both sides will fight for victory until the end. We expect a total of "over 2.5 goals" in this match.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
