Mirassol (home)
- Mirassol are rock bottom with six points after nine matches.
- Mirassol have failed to win or draw in their last five matches and come into this game on the back of recent defeats to Botafogo RJ (3-2 away) and Red Bull Bragantino (0-1 at home).
- Mirassol have won one, drawn two and lost two of their five home matches in Serie A 2026, scoring six goals.
Bahia (away)
- Bahia are flying high in 5th place after nine games with 17 points.
- Bahia have won three of their four Serie A 2026 away games so far, scoring 1.25 goals per game on average.
- Rogerio Ceni’s approach is at the other end of the spectrum as he favours a high-tempo, possession-based style where his players overload the flanks and half-spaces, with his full-backs pressing and attacking high up the field while his midfielders rotate to protect the centre of the pitch.
- Their last three games include a heavy 4-1 away defeat to Remo, a big 3-0 home win over Athletico Paranaense, and a narrow 2-1 home loss to Palmeiras.
Head-to-Head
Mirassol’s incredible 5-1 win over Bahia in Serie A 2025 is still fresh in the memory.
Key Players
Everaldo is Bahia’s biggest goal threat with three in their last five, and the visitors have scored seven times in that period with their midfielders chipping in as well.
Betting Insights
- Bahia are a level above the hosts in terms of playing style and ambition, despite Mirassol's superior head-to-head in their last meeting, so I’m backing the away win at 2.98 as my main selection.
- The odds of 2.05 on the Both Teams to Score - No bet looks good too.
Prediction
As for the score prediction, I’m going for a 1-0 away win at 2.98 , as it could be a tight, tactical chess match that only Bahia can edge.
