Flamengo vs Bahia Predictions

Flamengo can maintain their winning form at the Maracana, with another victory expected on Thursday.

I'm backing the hosts to win and to score at least two goals in the process

Flamengo won 5 of their last 6 home matches
Flamengo scored 2+ goals in their last 11 home victories
Bahia lost their last 9 matches against Flamengo
Bahia lost 5 of their last 8 away matches

Head to Head

Since 2000, Flamengo and Bahia have played each other on 26 occasions, Flamengo have been largely dominant, winning 17 of these encounters, while Bahia secured just five victories.

Flamengo Form

Flamengo return to the Maracana after a bad-tempered 2-1 defeat at Corinthians in their last outing nearly a fortnight ago. Midfielder Carlos Alcaraz was one of three players given their marching orders in stoppage time.

Tite's side have enjoyed a fine run of form in home fixtures, scoring 12 wins while losing just one of their last 15 games played at the Maracana.

Five-time Copa do Brasil winners, the Rubro-Negro missed out on last season's title after a heart-breaking shootout defeat in the final against Sao Paulo.

Flamengo Team News

Flamengo boss Tite has a lengthy list of absentees to deal with this week.

Léo Pereira, Alex Sandro, Nicolás de la Cruz and Pedro are among eight players set to miss out on Thursday.

Bahia Form

Bahia make the trip to Rio winless in three matches following a 2-1 reversal at RB Bragantino earlier this month. Rogério Ceni's side have now failed to win nine of their last 12 matches across all competitions, including a 1-0 defeat in the first leg of this tie.

The Tricolor Bahiaço have suffered on their travels, with five defeats recorded in their last nine road trips. Ceni's men won just two of their last 11 games on their travels.

Bahia have not previously reached the final of the Copa do Brasil.

Bahia Team News

Bahia boss Ceni has just a couple of injury issues this week. Nicolás Acevedo and Biel are both tipped to remain absent for the away side.

Everaldo is likely to keep his place in the Bahia attack despite failing to net in his last ten appearances.

Verdict

Flamengo v Bahia

Flamengo should prove too strong for a Bahia side that often struggles in away matches.

A home win and a minimum of two goals scored are my top tips at the Maracana.
