After a surprising defeat at home, Bahia has a chance to redeem itself immediately against a poor Corinthians team that wants to rise.
The Bahiaço lost 1-2 at home vs Cuibá, a surprising result given their offensive solidity this season, but considering how heavy is the Brasileirão calendar at this stage, this kind of result has been common.
The Coringão got a crucial win against Cruciúma by 2-1. The issue is that this team should not be fighting for relegation.

Why Bet on Bahia?
The 5th team on the board has nine wins, three draws, and five losses in their campaign and is looking to close in on the leaders, who are only 6 points ahead.
Bahia has been brilliant as we reach the midway point of the season. Currently six points off the top, the City Group-owned club is in the title race alongside Botafogo, Palmeiras, and Flamengo.
The club was bold in the last transfer window, the addition of Santos’ Jean Lucas and Flamengo’s Everton Ribeiro in the heart of the midfield has elevated their game. On top of that particular pair, striker Everaldo was brought back to Brazil last season, and he’s already scored six times in the Brasileirão.
With a mix of younger players and experience, Bahia is a well-balanced side, one of the more complete teams to watch away from the usual contenders at the top.
Why Bet on Corinthians?
The visitors for this clash will be Corinthians, coming with a terrible campaign. They are 17th, thus being the last team to be relegated, and have three wins, six draws, and eight losses.
The Paulistas are falling from grace. Departures, drunk antics, and a lack of belief within the current squad are battling for survival and not doing a good job.
The team is currently trying to crawl out of the relegation zone, and are near doing so after their recent victory, but their performances so far leave a lot to be desired.
Their defense has been broken through way too much for their fans’ comfort, and their offense hasn’t been up to par, which means they are likely to have a tough night when they visit Corinthians.
Final Betting Analysis: Bahia vs. Corinthians
This is a match where Bahia will be able to create enough chances to score at least a couple of goals when they take the field against Corinthians.
The visitors might find it difficult to get past the opposing goal line, especially against a tough opponent in the top five, and a hostile crowd against them.
We are expecting the hosts to get a relaxed 2-0 victory at the end of the 90 minutes.
Go for a victory for the locals at 1.71. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $71 for a total payout of $171.
