Palmeiras welcome Bahia on Wednesday, Oct 7 at 5:00 PM in a Serie A fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.

Palmeiras come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 2D 1L). Bahia, meanwhile, arrive drawing too many games (3D in last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

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