Team Analysis
Bahia "The Tricolor" are not typically standout performers in Brazilian football, with 16th place last season being a decent result as they avoided relegation. Under the ownership of City Football Group and the management of Rogerio Ceni, Bahia has shown improvements and aspirations for higher achievements.
Their season started strong with an 8-match unbeaten streak, but recent form has been inconsistent, with alternating losses and wins. Despite this, Bahia remains among the league leaders thanks to crucial victories in the latter stages of matches.
Corinthians "The Timão" finished with 50 points last season and entered this season's Copa Sudamericana from 13th place, where they performed well by winning a challenging group with 13 points.
Domestically, however, Corinthians have struggled, managing only a few wins throughout the season. Their victories include a 3-2 win over Vitoria Salvador and a recent 2-1 win against Criciuma. Their overall form remains unstable, which has left them fighting to avoid relegation.
