Bahia desperately need points on Wednesday, Oct 7 at 5:00 PM in the Serie A. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Palmeiras come into this fixture drawing too many games (3D in last 5). Bahia travel out of form (0W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Palmeiras won their last outing, while Bahia suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.

History strongly favours Palmeiras here — they've won 6 of 10 previous meetings against Bahia, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Bahia won 1–2.

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