Bahia vs Internacional Prediction and Betting Tips
The Brasileiro Serie A returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Bahia and Internacional square off at the Fonte Nova Arena on Wednesday (October 18).
Bahia turned in an attacking show of class in their last outing before the international break, beating Goias 6-4 in a 10-goal thriller at the Estadio da Serrinha.
Before that, Rogerio Ceni’s men were on a two-game losing streak, suffering defeats against Santos and Flamengo respectively. With 28 points from 26 games, Bahia are 16th in the standings but could move into 13th place with all three points.
Meanwhile, Internacional also returned to winning ways last time outm edging out Gremio 3-2 at the Estadio Jose Pinheiro Borda. Eduardo Coudet’s men were winless in four games across competitions, a run that saw them crash out of the Copa Libertadores semifinals.
With 32 points from 26 games, Internacional are 12th in the league table, one point above 13th-placed Cruzeiro just outside the Copa Sudamericana qualification places.
