Bahia
- Bahia's last three results (W1, L2) were a 1-0 L at Palmeiras, 2-1 L at Athletico Paranaense and a 1-0 H win against Mirassol.
- With Luciano Juba, Bahia have their spark in attack at the moment, he has scored two of their six goals in their last five games.
Flamengo
- Flamengo's last three results (W2, D1) were a 1-0 H win against Fluminense, a 2-2 D at Santos and a 2-1 H win against Bragantino Red Bull.
- Leonardo Jardim has been true to his 4-2-3-1 all season long, it's a system where the team press as a unit and can transition very quickly once they win the ball.
- They are certainly a more direct side than Bahia and that should suit the gameplan of their opponent, but with their high-press and quality in transition, Flamengo will be a real threat in this game.
Head-to-Head
The head-to-head record between these two clubs in Serie A 2026 is one win each, no draws, and Flamengo have won two of their last three trips to Bahia .
Key Players
- With Luciano Juba, Bahia have their spark in attack at the moment, he has scored two of their six goals in their last five games.
- Flamengo have scored 29 goals away from home this season and it will be interesting to see how these two sides match up when possession-dominant Bahia come up against a side that is more compact and prefers to counter-attack.
Betting Insights
- Flamengo to win at 2.12 seems like great value as they are the slight favorites here with Bahia at 3.1 and the draw at 3.65.
- Bahia are a tough home side, with seven wins, six draws and just two defeats from 15 home games, but Flamengo are a title contender and a much more solid side.

Prediction
- In the table we have Bahia in 5th with 49pts from 30 games and Flamengo in 1st with 64pts from 30, so the visitors are in the better position to win on Sunday and they arrive in the best form of the two sides with three wins and two draws in their last five across all competitions.
- It could be a battle of pace, with the tempo of the game possibly deciding the result, so over 2.5 goals at 1.65 is my selection.
