Bahia holds the edge in this Serie A clash, sitting 6th with 26 points from 17 games compared to Corinthians’ 14th-place 24 points from 18 games. Bahia also won 2 of the last 3 H2H meetings, with Corinthians failing to win any during that stretch.

Bahia’s midfield trio of **Roger**, **Caio Alexandre**, and **Éverton Ribeiro** will look to control possession against a Corinthians side that has scored only 18 goals in 18 games. Corinthians must break through Bahia’s defensive structure, which has conceded 23 goals but kept the team with a +2 goal difference.

For Bahia, midfielder **Éverton Ribeiro** and attacker **Erick Pulga** are the key creative threats in the final third. For Corinthians, defender **André Ramalho** must anchor the backline to stop Bahia’s attack, while goalkeeper **Hugo Souza** is crucial to keeping the scoreline tight.

Bahia is without **Léo Vieira**, **Luciano Juba**, and **Nicolás Acevedo** due to missing fixtures. Corinthians will miss **Charles Rigon**, **M. Depay**, and **Gabriel Paulista** for the same reason.
