The visitors returned to winning ways after two consecutive losses in their previous outing with a 2-1 home triumph over Criciuma on Tuesday. Second-half goals from Ángel Romero and Caca helped them register a comeback 2-1 win.

Bahia vs Corinthians Prediction

Tricolor have been inconsistent in the league recently with three wins and losses in their last six games. They have failed to score in just one of their 17 league games this season and will look to build on that form. They are unbeaten in their last six home games in this fixture, recording four wins.

Timão returned to winning and goalscoring ways after two losses last week and will look to continue the momentum here. They have lost their three away games in July and have failed to score in these losses as well.

Considering the visitors' poor away form this season and the hosts' better record in this fixture recently, Tricolor are expected to register a comfortable win.
