Bahia came out at full speed and, after 10 minutes, was already winning 2-0. Yago opened the scoring in the 4th minute after a beautiful play by Ademir, and six minutes later Willian José scored the second with a rocket from outside the area.

Internacional: Form and statistics

The Colorado hosted Sport Recife and had no trouble beating the bottom-ranked team 2-0. The first half was fast-paced, with Inter showing a desire to score early. Borré broke the deadlock in the 24th minute after an assist from Vitinho, but before that, the home team had already hit the post with a shot from Bernabei. The visitors had a great chance to equalize, but after escaping the defenders, Derik Lacerda shot wide of Ivan's goal. Shortly after, the Inter goalkeeper prevented the Pernambucanos from scoring by saving a shot from Luan Cândido with his foot. In the second half, Internacional sealed the result in the 68th minute with a goal very similar to the first. This time, it was Carbonero who assisted Bruno Henrique, who only had to tap the ball into the net. Until the end, both teams had a couple of chances, but the scoreline remained unchanged. With the victory, the Gaúchos can breathe a little easier, but they cannot relax with only four points over Vitória, the first team in the relegation zone.

Carbonero received his third yellow card and is suspended.

Bahia vs Internacional match prediction 23 October 2025

Bahia's crushing victory over Grêmio restored confidence to Ceni's men after a poor result against bitter rival Vitória. Inter also won at home in the last round, coming out on top against bottom-placed Sport. The Baianos are very strong at home, where they defeated Flamengo and Palmeiras, and are the favorites in the upcoming match. However, it is worth noting that Bahia usually struggles when playing against Inter. I will therefore leave open the possibility of a draw, betting on a Double Chance favorable to Bahia with a maximum of three goals scored.
