Bahia desperately need points on Sunday, Aug 23 at 5:00 PM in the Serie A. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Vitoria come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 1D 2L). Bahia travel out of form (0W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Vitoria won their last outing, while Bahia suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.

Despite playing at home, Vitoria face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Bahia have won 5 of 10 encounters, with 4 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw.

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