Bahia have maintained a perfect record at Arena Fonte Nova this season and look to extend their streak Brasileiro match against struggling Cuiaba.
While four clubs have maintained undefeated records at home this season, Bahia and Cruzeiro stand out with flawless sequences — Bahia boasting seven wins and Cruzeiro with six.
Bahia has been defensively solid at Arena Fonte Nova, conceding just three goals while scoring 13, positioning them closely behind Flamengo in the league standings. A favorable outcome for Bahia combined with dropped points for Flamengo could see Rogerio Ceni's squad take the top spot by the end of the current gameweek, provided Botafogo and Palmeiras also stumble in their matches.
However, Bahia must remain cautious of Cuiaba, who recently held league leaders Flamengo to a draw, showcasing their resilience under coach Petit. While Cuiaba has only lost one of their last seven matches, their challenge lies in converting draws into wins to avoid slipping into the bottom four.
Facing Bahia after holding Flamengo will surely motivate Cuiaba to aim for another positive result. Their traveling supporters will be hopeful, especially after their team avoided defeat in three consecutive away games, including draws against Corinthians and Flamengo following their victory over Sao Paulo in late June. Cuiaba will strive to extend this streak to four matches and frustrate Bahia's pursuit of the title.
Prediction: Bahia 1-0 Cuiaba
