- Internacional have scored only three goals across their latest six Serie A fixtures, failing to find the net four times during that sequence.
- Bahia are unbeaten in eight league matches, while Internacional have gone eight league rounds without a victory — identical-length runs pointing in sharply different directions.
Wins in Recent Matches
Recent attacking records for Bahia and Internacional are shown below.
Clean Sheets in Recent Matches
Recent defensive records for Bahia and Internacional are shown below.
Rogerio Ceni’s side are eight league matches unbeaten and finally converted a sequence of draws into victory by beating Vitoria 2-0. Internacional, by contrast, have gone eight league rounds without winning and have scored only three times across their latest six. The visitors have become difficult to break down recently, but their lack of attacking reward leaves precious little margin for error.
Bahia Are Creating Enough to Keep Inter Occupied
Five consecutive draws had made Bahia’s unbeaten sequence look less imposing than it might otherwise have done, yet the Vitoria performance offered a different picture. They produced nine shots on target in the 2-0 win while taking 53% possession, with Alejo Veliz and Jean Lucas scoring.
Their broader numbers also suggest sustained attacking pressure rather than a one-off burst. Across the last 10 league games, Bahia have averaged 17.2 attempts, 4.3 shots on target and 57% possession, scoring 1.4 goals per match.
The efficiency is not overwhelming, but the volume matters against an Internacional side allowing 13.3 attempts per league game across the same period. Bahia should expect opportunities; the greater question is whether they can turn territorial and shooting superiority into the decisive moments that escaped them during those five draws.
Veliz provides one obvious route. He has scored twice across Bahia’s last 10 league games and was on target against Vitoria, while Rodrigo Nestor has supplied three assists in that period.
Internacional’s Defensive Improvement Has Come at a Cost
Internacional’s recent results are poor, but four successive draws have at least stopped the sequence becoming a run of defeats. More strikingly, Paulo Pezzolano’s side have kept three clean sheets in their last four matches in all competitions, including goalless draws with Palmeiras, Atletico Mineiro and Gremio.
The problem is at the other end. Internacional have failed to score in four of their latest six league fixtures and average only 1.0 goal from 15.2 attempts across their last 10. That gap between shooting volume and scoring return is difficult to ignore.
Johan Carbonero has four goals in that 10-game sample, considerably more than any other named Internacional player. If Bahia restrict his influence, there is little evidence of another consistently productive source of goals in the recent numbers.
Absences Add Another Layer of Difficulty
Neither side arrive untouched. Bahia are without the suspended Jean Lucas, while Ademir is ruled out and Everton Ribeiro is still working back towards full training. Kaue Furquim is available again, with Cristian Olivera, Veliz and Erick Pulga expected to form the front three.
Internacional’s list is longer. Bruno Gomes, Gabriel Mercado and Paulinho are suspended, Victor Gabriel remains banned, Sergio Rochet is recovering from spinal surgery and Kayky from ankle surgery. Matheus Bahia does return from suspension.
That matters for a team already operating under a demanding schedule after the recent Copa do Brasil meeting with Gremio. Internacional drew that game 0-0 only three days before travelling to Salvador.
Recent Meetings Reinforce the Current Pattern
Bahia are unbeaten in the last three league meetings between the clubs, winning two 1-0 and drawing the other 2-2. Internacional still lead the overall series with 33 victories from 65 matches, but the recent balance has shifted.
More importantly for this fixture, Bahia’s greater attacking output meets an opponent whose recent survival mechanism has been containment. Internacional have become harder to score against, yet they are asking that defensive resistance to compensate for an attack producing very little.

🎯 Pick 1: Bahia to win @ 17/20
Bahia enter this fixture holding an eight-match unbeaten sequence in Serie A, having recently converted a run of draws into a 2-0 victory over Vitoria. Rogerio Ceni’s side produced nine shots on target in that performance while maintaining 53% possession. Over their last 10 league fixtures, the hosts have maintained an attacking baseline of 17.2 attempts and 4.3 shots on target per match, generating 1.4 goals per game while holding 57% possession. That sustained offensive volume gives Bahia a strong structural platform at Arena Fonte Nova.
Internacional arrive at Salvador winless in eight league rounds and struggling for goal scoring production. Paulo Pezzolano’s team average 15.2 attempts per match across their last 10 outings but have converted those attempts into just 1.0 goal per game. Furthermore, the visitors have failed to score in four of their last six league fixtures, totaling only three goals in that span. While Internacional allow 13.3 attempts per game, Bahia’s superior shooting volume and higher possession share create a clear territorial mismatch against an opponent relying on defensive containment.
Internacional have proven resilient, securing three clean sheets across their past four matches in all competitions, including goalless draws against Palmeiras, Atletico Mineiro, and Gremio. However, with multiple suspensions and defensive absences impacting the visitors, combined with a quick three-day turnaround following Copa do Brasil action, Bahia’s consistent shot generation makes the home win a well-grounded outcome.
🎯 Tactical Indicators
- Bahia average 17.2 attempts and 57% possession per game over their last 10 league matches.
- Internacional have failed to win in eight consecutive league rounds, scoring just three goals across their latest six.
- Bahia hold an eight-game unbeaten league run and defeated Vitoria 2-0 in their most recent fixture.
Risk Factor: Internacional have kept three clean sheets in their last four matches; another shutout would cause this selection to lose.
Key Tactical Mismatch
Averaging 17.2 attempts and 4.3 shots on target per game with 57% possession.
Failed to score in 4 of their last 6 league matches, averaging 0.5 goals per game.
⚔️ Pick 2: Bahia vs Internacional 2-0 @ 15/2
A 2-0 full-time scoreline aligns with both Bahia’s recent offensive output and Internacional’s current attacking limitations. Bahia demonstrated their ability to secure this exact result in their latest outing, defeating Vitoria 2-0 behind goals from Alejo Veliz and Jean Lucas. Over their past 10 league matches, the hosts have averaged 1.4 goals per game, supported by an active front line where Veliz has scored twice and Rodrigo Nestor has provided three assists. This steady scoring frequency suggests Bahia have the capacity to breach Internacional’s line at least twice.
Conversely, Internacional’s recent figures indicate a reduced likelihood of answering on the scoresheet. The visitors have gone scoreless in four of their last six league rounds, netting just three goals in that six-game spell. While Johan Carbonero leads their recent output with four goals in 10 games, Internacional’s team average sits at 1.0 goal per game from 15.2 attempts. With key personnel missing through suspension and injury, generating scoring chances in Salvador represents a steep task.
Recent history supports a low-scoring home win, as Bahia remain unbeaten in their last three league meetings against Internacional, including two 1-0 victories. While Internacional’s recent goalless draws demonstrate defensive resilience, Bahia’s superior shot generation provides a path to two goals. As with any exact score selection, a single unexpected goal from either team or a late defensive lapse would render the bet void.
Risk Factor: A single goal from either team or a third goal from Bahia would void this exact score selection.
