The battle for the top four of the Brasileirão enters a crucial stage, and Flamengo has an acid test in their quest to remain in fourth place against Bahia as visitors.
The Bahiaço beat Criuciúma 1-0 last weekend, also at home.
The Fla broke a streak of three matches without a win against an Athletico Paranaense in disgrace.

Why bet on Bahia?
Bahia is looking at the top four with bloodthirsty eyes, and this is their chance. They come with a record of 13 wins, six draws, and nine losses and are trying to pick up the pace after their recent victory over Criciúma.
However, that last win was only their second in the last five games, showing great inconsistency. This is a chance to get two wins in a row, as Flamengo is not at its best, while the San Salvador de Bahia team is excellent at home.
On the other hand, their memories against this rival are not positive in recent times, as they fell in the Copa do Brasil against them.
Why bet on Flamengo?
The visitors are in the 4th with 14 wins, six draws, and seven losses, coming from a win against Athletico-PR as said before. However, their record in the last five games is the same as their rivals; two victories, two defeats, and one draw.
However, the focus for the Cariocas isn’t in this game at the moment, as today, they have a crucial duel with Corinthians. It will be for the semifinals of the Copa do Brasil, and they will be playing the first leg at home.
That means that the team will have to rotate thinking about both compromises, but the two games are almost equally as important. A defeat against Bahia could take them down from the top four.
Final Betting Analysis: Bahia vs. Flamengo
The fact that Flamengo took 1-0 victories both as hosts and as visitors during the Copa Do Brasil quarterfinals sets a precedent for this match.
However, things are different in the Brasileirão as Bahia is extremely solid at home, and they have a more rested squad, while Flamengo has been playing every three days in a while. They just got out of a rut that separated them from the top three teams, so the team is not consistent.
Still, the Fla has great paternity over Bahia, getting a staggering 14 wins in their last 23 games. We believe a 1-1 draw is the most likely result.
Go for a draw at 3.34. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $234 for a total payout of $334.
