Bahia desperately need points on Sunday, Oct 11 at 5:00 PM in the Serie A. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Bahia come into this fixture out of form (0W 2L recently). Mirassol, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 1D 2L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Bahia head into this on the back of a defeat, while Mirassol arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Bahia and Mirassol have split their 3 meetings almost evenly (1W–1D–1W). Their last encounter ended in Mirassol won 1–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.7 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Bahia a slight edge, but Mirassol are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
