Bahia vs Internacional prediction

Bahia welcome Internacional to the Arena Fonte Nova for round 25 of the Brasileiro Serie A, looking to solidify their position in the upper half of the table. Sitting in 6th place with 37 points, Bahia enter this contest on a steady five-match unbeaten run in league play, bolstered by a 2-0 away victory over Vitoria in their most recent outing. Their defensive organization at home has been a hallmark this season, conceding an average of just 0.9 goals per match across 12 home fixtures.

Internacional, by contrast, find themselves battling near the bottom of the standings in 16th place with 25 points. The visitors have struggled to convert matches into victories, drawing four of their last five league games and scoring just two goals during that span. Their away form has yielded only two wins from 11 matches, while scoring at an average of 0.9 goals per game on the road.

Squad availability further tilts the balance, with Internacional missing key figures through suspension, including Gabriel Mercado, Bruno Gomes, and Paulinho Paula, alongside goalkeeper Sergio Rochet to injury. With Bahia holding an unbeaten home record in recent head-to-head encounters against Internacional (two wins and two draws in four meetings), the hosts possess the structural and form edge.
