Brasileiro Showdown: Internacional’s Quest for Away Glory Meets Bahia’s Survival Bid
Key Stats
– Everaldo boasts a recent hat-trick and six goals this season, positioning him as Bahia’s key threat.
– Both teams combined average over 10 corners per game, setting the stage for a corner-rich encounter.
As we steer closer to the upcoming match at Arena Fonte Nova, two Campeonato Brasileiro teams with contrasting fortunes and challenges prepare to take centre stage. Internacional, still struggling for consistency on the road, are eager to halt their away-game slump. In contrast, Bahia are looking to stay clear of the dreaded relegation spots.
The Current Scenario
Internacional’s recent triumph against arch-rivals Gremio, courtesy of an early goal by their talisman Enner Valencia, rekindled their Copa Libertadores aspirations. Further goals by Wanderson and Alan Patrick solidified their claim. However, the victory could not mask the glaring 10-point gap they have with the top six. The team’s away form remains a worry, with their last victory on the road dating back to June. Their defence has shown fragility, conceding 10 goals in their last five outings. With only 23 league goals under their belt at an average of 0.88 per match, concerns are rising.

Bahia, despite their recent high-scoring 6-4 victory over Goias, are not in the clear either. Their defence has proven porous, and with an average of 1.4 goals conceded per game, they find themselves lurking dangerously close to the relegation spots.
Player Insights and Team News
Inter’s manager, Eduardo Coudet, finds himself in a selection conundrum. Key players like Sergio Rochet, Johnny Cardoso, Charles Aranguiz, and Enner Valencia are away on international duty. Defensive stalwarts Igor Gomes and Nicolas Hernandez face suspensions. Despite these setbacks, there are some bright spots, with Pedro Henrique and Hugo Mallo making returns.
On the other hand, Bahia have their dynamic duo, Cauly and Everaldo, to thank for their offensive flair. Cauly has been involved in 10 goals, assisting seven and netting three himself. Everaldo, fresh from his hat-trick, will be one to watch out for.
Key Predictions
- Match Outcome: Both Teams to Score (BTTS)
Given Internacional’s issues at the back and Bahia’s propensity to let in goals, it’s plausible that both teams will find the net. The statistics suggest a potential goal fest. - Correct Score Prediction: 2-2
Taking into account both teams’ attacking potential and defensive frailties, a high-scoring draw could be on the cards. Internacional’s struggles on the road and Bahia’s formidable attack, led by Everaldo, set the scene for an enthralling encounter. - Goalscorer Prediction: Everaldo
Based on his recent form and having already netted six times this season, Everaldo seems the most likely candidate to get on the scoresheet. - Corner Prediction: Over 10.5 Corners
With Bahia averaging 5.8 and Internacional at 4.6 corners per game, it’s reasonable to anticipate a game rich in corner kicks.
