Bahia have now suffered two consecutive defeats in their last two games across all competitions. They suffered a narrow 0-1 defeat to Flamengo in the first-leg encounter and they also lost to Bragantino in that same week. In the current season, they have an overall league statistics of 11 wins, 6 draws, and 8 losses from 25 games played. 

Flamengo leads in their H2H stats with 14 wins, and 3 draws while Bahia has only 3 wins. 

Flamengo have a good record against Bahia and one of them is that Flamengo has won the last 9 games between them and they’ve scored first in 8 of those games. Although Bahia is in great form at the moment, we believe Flamengo will not lose this game and they’ll qualify to the semi-finals of the Copa Do Brasil for the fourth consecutive season. The teams have met twice this season in the league and Flamengo won the first one with a 2-1 scoreline the second ended in a 0-1 win. Our prediction is a win or draw for Flamengo as they have the home advantage and are also the favorites for the win. 

It’s also important to note that there has been a total of over 2.5 goals in 8 of their last 10 encounters and we should expect a similar result here. A more conservative option would be to wager on a minimum of two goals from either team.
