Santos FC face Bahia on Sunday, Oct 25 at 4:00 PM in a basement battle that neither side can afford to lose. Both clubs are deep in the relegation picture in the Serie A, and defeat here could prove costly come the end of the season.

Santos FC come into this fixture out of form (1W 2L recently). Bahia travel out of form (0W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Santos FC and Bahia have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (2W–5D–3W). Their last encounter ended in a 2–2 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.0 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Santos FC win or a draw looks most likely.
