Bahia vs Fluminense Prediction & Betting Tips (17 April)

Bahia have been cooking with gas on their own patch of late, recording 10 consecutive home victories in the Serie A, one of which was a success against Fluminense in their last H2H meeting. Speaking of the visitors, they have not been particularly strong on their travels of late, suffering 10 defeats in 18 trips, so this test is likely to prove too severe.

Bahia are rarely involved in top-flight thrillers, with nine of their previous ten matches, including seven in a row of late, serving up no more than a couple of successful strikes. Given that this has also been the case in five consecutive Fluminense away games at this level, anyone expecting fireworks at Bahia stadium is set to be disappointed.

Both teams have found the net in just two of the most recent 10 top-flight fixtures involving Bahia, so it is quite rare for this to happen when they take to the field. It has been a virtually identical story as far as Fluminense are concerned, as 10 of their previous 12 matches at this level have seen at least one of the two keepers emerge with a clean sheet.
