Fluminense vs Bahia
📖 The Preview
Fluminense look the value here and a 2-1 home win makes plenty of sense. They've won four of the last eight head-to-heads and their recent form is solid, dropping points in only a couple of those last ten. Bahia, meanwhile, have lost four of their last ten and come in with David Duarte and Ze Guilherme both suspended through yellow cards, which hurts their defensive shape. Bahia will nick one — both teams scoring is expected — but Fluminense's home advantage and superior consistency should be enough to edge it.
