Fluminense vs Bahia Predictions

• Bahia have failed to score in their last four away trips
• Fluminense have won three of their last five home league games
• The hosts have scored exactly twice in each of those victories

Bahia struggling on the road

Bahia make this trip on Saturday night with a poor record on their travels of late. They’ve failed to score across their last four away games in all competitions, while in Serie A they’ve already suffered defeats to the three teams directly above them in the table.

This weekend brings a visit to a Fluminense side who have made a strong start, sitting just outside the top four having gone unbeaten at home to date. The hosts have conceded only three times across their first five home league games, so they should hold firm against a blunt Bahia outfit.

History points to home win

Fluminense have had the edge in recent clashes between these two sides, having won four of their last five encounters with Bahia. On top of that, the visitors have lost to nil in each of their last three visits to Fluminense.

The hosts have tended to see plenty of low-scoring home games this term, with under 2.5 landing in four of their five games so far. However, they’ve scored twice in each of their home wins this term and Bahia look unable to make much of an impact at the other end.

Fluminense are good value for a victory, while the extra value on a home win to nil is working considering. I’m also backing a 2-0 victory as my correct score prediction, following the hosts’ record at home so far this term.
