Team News

Bahia manager Rogerio Ceni will be without Ruan Pablo, Gilberto, Kanu, David Duarte and Everton Riberio for this clash due to injury.

It looks as though all five players should be back in action towards the end of the month if everything goes to plan.

For RB Bragantino, Agustin Sant’Anna, Fabricio and Vanderlan will miss this match as they all continue to recover from injury.

Guzman Rodriguez is the only long-term absentee for Bragantino with his cruciate ligament injury ruling him out until July at the earliest.

Bahia vs RB Bragantino Stats

Bahia have won three of their previous four matches
Bragantino have won only two of the previous eight games between the two sides

Bahia to win @ 10/11

Bahia enter this match in far better form than their opponents and have a chance to move into second place in the table with a win.

A 1-0 victory over Internacional last time out gave the club a third league win across their opening five matches.

Bragantino, however, have won just two of their opening six games and the defeat to Sao Paulo leaves them in eighth position in the table.

Bahia have also won the previous two encounters between the clubs and they should make it three consecutive victories over Bragantino on Wednesday.

Over 2.5 goals @ 5/6

In the league this season, Bahia have scored six goals across five matches, while Bragantino have found the net five times in their six games so far.

These totals are among the worst attacking records in the division, but given the recent history between these sides, there should be goals in this clash.

Indeed, dating back to August 2020, these clubs have met on ten occasions. Three or more goals have been scored in eight of those fixtures, suggesting that there could be plenty of action once again.

A total of 32 goals has been scored in those 10 games, which works out as 3.2 goals per match.
