Bahia and Flamengo have met many times, and the home side have never won at their own ground in the last six meetings, losing 0-1, 0-2 and 1-0, alternating with the away win at Rio last October. This time Bahia sit 5th and are chasing a place in the table, while Flamengo lead the league with 64 points from 30 matches and are still unbeaten in their last five. Bahia got back on track in their latest match, winning 1-0 after a 0-1 defeat before that. Their first-half home form is decent, with 7 goals in the first half from 9 matches, and they often lead or are level at half-time, but their defending late in games remains a concern. Flamengo themselves have not been spectacular in the league lately, alternating a 2-2 draw with a 1-0 win, but overall across the season they are superior, winning 19 of 30 matches, conceding only 25 goals, and dominating possession against almost every opponent. The pattern of play is likely to be Flamengo with more of the ball gradually opening up the game, while Bahia wait for counter-attacking chances from pace on the flanks or set pieces. If the home side hold out until the closing stages, the game could end close, but if Flamengo control possession as planned and break through a defence that concedes late goals often, this game is likely to finish with a clearer margin than many expect.
