Fluminense vs Bahia Prediction and Betting Tips | June 24th 2023
Fluminense and Bahia go head-to-head on Saturday in what will be their first Brasileiro Serie A meeting since December 2021.
Renato Paiva’s men have failed to win their last eight visits to the Maracana Stadium and will be looking to end this dry spell this weekend.
Fluminense failed to arrest their slump in form as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Atletico Mineiro on Wednesday.
Fernando Diniz’s side have now gone three consecutive games without a win, and have won just one of their last nine outings, losing five and claiming three draws since mid-May.
With 18 points from 11 matches, Fluminense are currently fifth in the Serie A standings, level on points with sixth-placed Sao Paulo.
Elsewhere, Bahia maintained their new-found form as they picked up a surprise 1-0 victory over Palmeiras last time out.
Renato Paiva’s men are unbeaten in their last four matches, claiming two draws and two wins, including a penalty-shootout victory over Santos in the second leg of their Copa do Brasil last-16 clash on May 31.
With 12 points from 11 matches, the Tricolor Bahiaço are currently 14th in the league table, level on points with 15th-placed Cuiaba.
