Bahia rank 15 with nine points to their name from ten matches, while visitors Palmeiras rank two in the table on 22 points.

Top side Palmeiras will be hoping to inflict more misery on lowly placed Bahia on Thursday. The hosts should simply be able to bring far too much to the table for the visitors to have any say on Thursday.

They simultaneously allowed their opponents 16 goals, or an average of 1.6 a game. Furthermore, they fought their way to two clean sheets in this run.

Bahia vs Palmeiras Prediction

Bahia Form

Bahia claimed two points in their previous three matches, where they lost 2-0 against Internacional. They took a point in a0-0 draw with Fortaleza, before also drawing 2-2 with Cruzeiro. Bahia managed to win two of their past six home matches in the Serie A. In the remaining four, they drew two and lost two, as they scored 11 and conceded nine goals.

Aiming for a mid-table finish Bahia would require a quick upturn in form to achieve even that.

Palmeiras Form

In their last three matches, Palmeiras first beat Coritiba 3-1, then Barcelona SC by 4-2 and finally Sao Paulo by 0-2. In their last six away matches in the Serie A, Palmeiras won twice, while also recording three draws. They endured one defeat in this run, with a scoreline from these matches saying six goals conceded and ten scored.

Hardly any people had Palmeiras down as candidates for medals this season, but in current form nothing seems beyond them.

Value hunters might think Bahia is worth a shot, but in our view Palmeiras are rightly favoured for the win. They contain enough quality to come home with a win from Bahia's stadium.

Palmeiras won three of their previous three encounters with opponents from the bottom six of the Serie A. They scored 12 and concededfour goals and collected ten points. Bahia so far pulled off a record of two wins, three draws and five defeats in the Serie A this season. Palmeiras enjoy a record of six wins, four draws and zero defeats in the Serie A.
