Fluminense take on the visitors Bahia at the Maracana Stadium in the 17th tour of Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A. The match will be played in Rio de Janeiro on Monday, August 6th.
Fluminense faced one of the outsiders in the league Ceara last tour and lost with a 0-1 score. That was completely unexpected because the team had beaten Sport Recife on the away side and Palmeiras on their home field before that fixture. The team is on the 9th place in the league right now with 21 points to their credit. It`s worth noting that the Tricolor have also faced Defensor Sporting from Uruguay in the Copa Sudamericana recently and beat them with a 2-0 score.

Bahia have been competing both in the Copa do Brasil in the Copa Sudamericana lately. Last Thursday the Esquadrao de Aco drew against Palmeiras in the quarterfinals of Copa do Brasil. Bahia were a little bit lucky in that match because Palmeiras missed a penalty. In their last Serie A match Bahia drew against Atletico Mineiro where they were able to score their final goal during the last minutes of that fixture. It`s worth noting that the Bahiaco have been in a worse shape lately than they had been in the start of the new Serie A season.
Bahia got only 1 point in their 6 last away matches with an overall 1-11 goal difference. Fluminense on the other hand have been looking really good recently and it is very likely that they`ll win in the upcoming fixture.
Prediction for the match: Fluminense to win.
