Bahia are in superior recent form, remaining unbeaten across their last five Serie A matches with three clean sheets in that span. RB Bragantino have won only one of their previous five games and are missing important options in attack and midfield, including suspended duo I. Pitta and A. Sant'Anna. Furthermore, Bahia have won each of the past three head-to-head fixtures between the two clubs, making the double chance in favor of the visitors well supported.

Match preview
RB Bragantino welcome fifth-placed Bahia to the Estadio Nabi Abi Chedid in round 26 of Serie A. The hosts enter the clash in ninth position with 35 points, seeking consistency after recording just one win across their last five league outings. Bragantino will also be forced to reshuffle their lineup due to suspensions to I. Pitta and A. Sant'Anna, alongside injuries to Davi Gomes and Vanderlan.
Bahia arrive in confident form, sitting on 40 points in the Copa Libertadores qualification zone. The visitors are on a strong run of momentum, having gone unbeaten in their last five fixtures with consecutive victories over Vitoria and Internacional. Although Bahia travel without suspended forward Everaldo and inactive midfielder Everton Ribeiro, their away record remains resilient with five wins and four draws from twelve road trips this season.
Recent head-to-head encounters heavily favor the visitors, with Bahia winning the last three meetings between the clubs across all competitions, including a 3-0 away triumph in their previous visit to Bragança Paulista. Given Bahia's defensive stability and Bragantino's attacking absences, the away side looks well equipped to come away with a positive result.
