Bahia vs Fluminense Prediction: Bahia is strong at home

Bahia vs Fluminense: Prediction and odds on the Brasileirão match on August 10, 2025

Bahia is having an excellent season and is currently fourth in the standings. The next opponent is Fluminense, and an exciting match is anticipated in Salvador.

Bahia: Form and statistics

The Steel Squadron played two away games this week and drew both. In the last league round, Bahia failed to defeat Sport Recife, the last-placed team, drawing 0-0. The last victory for the Baianos in Recife was in 2010, and despite the difference in quality between the two teams, the streak continued. Bahia is in fourth place with 29 points and two games in hand. Rogerio Ceni's men managed to at least extend their unbeaten run in the Série A to six games. In midweek, Bahia qualified for the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals with a 0-0 draw against Retrô in Camaragibe. The Baianos had won 3-2 in the first leg, so the result was enough. Even so, it was not easy to eliminate the Série C team. In the upcoming game against Fluminense, Bahia fans expect a better performance from their team, one of the four unbeaten at home in the league.

Bahia: Lineup

Rogério Ceni is expected to field his usual lineup.

🔖Bahia starting lineup (4-3-3)

Fluminense: Form and statistics

Like Bahia, Fluminense also qualified for the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals, but the Cariocas' opponent was much stronger than Retrô. Fluminense drew 1-1 at home with Internacional, after winning the first leg 2-1 in Porto Alegre. The Gaúchos fought until the end at the Maracanã, yet made a mistake that cost them dearly. In the first minute of the second half, defensive midfielder Ronaldo failed to build up play and gave the ball away to Canobbio. The Uruguayan winger appreciated the gift and fired a powerful low shot into Rochet's goal. Internacional didn't give up and equalized in the 65th minute through Alan Patrick's penalty. Fábio saved the first attempt, but the referee ordered a retake. After the visitors' goal, Fluminense defended well, securing its ticket to the next round. A few days before, in the league, the Cariocas had beaten Grêmio 1-0 at home with a goal from Everaldo in the 44th minute. The striker missed a penalty later in the game, and Fluminense had to suffer until the end. With the victory, the Tricolor das Laranjeiras broke a four-game losing streak in the league. Renato Gaúcho's team climbed to ninth place with 23 points and two games in hand.

Fluminense: Lineup

Renato Gaúcho will likely make some changes, preparing for the Copa Sudamericana match against América de Cali. Right back Samuel Xavier is suspended.

🔖Fluminense starting lineup (4-3-3)

Fábio – Guga, Thiago Santos, Manoel, Renê – Bernal, Hércules, Lima – John Kennedy, Riquelme, Cano

⛔️Out: Ignácio, Otávio, Thiago Silva, Fuentes (injured), Samuel Xavier (suspended)

Bahia has been a consistent team and has not lost in six rounds. Rogério Ceni's men are motivated by their fourth place and will aim to give their enthusiastic fans another victory. The Baianos are yet to lose at home in the league and are the favorites in this game. On the other hand, Fluminense struggles on the road and seems to be a team more suited to knockout competitions.
