Bahia vs Corinthians Prediction

Bahia Form

Showing inconsistent form, Bahia lost two of their past three matches, going down 2-0 against Palmeiras, before beating Athletico Paranaense 1-3. The joy was short-lived, as Cuiaba proved too strong in a 1-2 defeat. Bahia showed little mercy in their past six matches at Bahia's stadium, of which they won five, drew none and lost once. They hit the target 11 times, while letting in four themselves.

Standards are high at a club like Bahia and as such the season is so far going according to plan.

Corinthians Form

In their last three matches, Corinthians lost against Cruzeiro and Vasco da Gama by 3-0 and 2-0, respectively, and beat Criciuma by 2-1. Corinthians came through their last six away games in the Serie A without a single win. Of those six matches, they drew two and lost four in which, they were outscored by 11 goals to three.

A mid-table finish seemed likely for Corinthians but in current form they could be dragged into a relegation battle.

The crowd usually get a very entertaining encounter, when Bahia face Corinthians, and we see no reason for this to end on Sunday. The value bet lies with goals.

Bahia recorded seven points following two wins from their last four games against teams placed among the bottom six. They scored six goals, but also conceded five.
