Palmeiras will be looking to keep alive their hopes of retaining their Serie A title on Wednesday night when they face Bahia away from home.
Bahia were last in action over a week ago when they travel to Juventude for Matchday 33 of the 2024 Brazilian top flight campaign. The Tricolors went ahead through Souza with just two minutes on the clock, but couldn’t hold on to that lead as they ended up losing 2-1.
Rogério Ceni’s side have now lost each of their last three games and are winless in the last five. However, home fans will take heart ahead of Wednesday’s game from the fact that Bahia won their last meeting with Palmeiras at this ground.
Palmeira meanwhile ended a two games winless streak with a 1-0 win over Gremio two weeks ago. That victory took the visitors to just four points off the top and another win on Wednesday will put plenty of pressure on Botafogo ahead of their clash on Thursday.
Bahia vs Palmeiras Betting Tips: Draw & Under 2.5 goals
Although Palmeiras will be favourites, I just can't see them winning here as they have struggled on the road in recent times, failing to win two of their last three away games and failed to score in as many games.
Bahia also have a good record against Palmeiras at the Fonte Nova Arena, with the hosts avoiding defeat in each of the last three meetings, recording one win and two draws. None of those encounters produced more than two goals.
- Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals
- Bahia vs Palmeiras prediction: 1-1

Bahia team news
Bahia will once again be without the services of defensive midfielder Rezende on Wednesday due to injury.
Rezende is nursing a hamstring injury that has kept him out of the last seven games and the Brazilian footballer is not expected to return before next month.
Iago and Biel who are nursing muscle and vertebra injuries are the other names that will not be available for the hosts on Wednesday.

Palmeiras team news
Bruno Rodrigues has been out since the end of January this year due to a knee injury and Wednesday’s trip to the Fonte Nova Arena will come too soon for the winger.
Palmeiras’ injury list ahead of their clash with Bahia also includes Joaquín Piquerez who has missed the last 21 games due to a knee injury.
