In 10 previous meetings, Fluminense lead 5–3 with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.8 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: Fluminense look the stronger side on current evidence. Expect them to control proceedings at home, though Bahia will make it uncomfortable. Fluminense to win.
