Bahia are on a roll
Bahia have not just won their last five matches, but they have done so with a style that suggests they will be a strong force in Brazil’s Serie A 2025 season. 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 formations have given Bahia an aggressive, yet coordinated style under coach Rogério Ceni, who has worked with his side to develop an organised and proactive approach to the game, building their attacks with structure, pressing in a collective manner to force turnovers, and transitioning from defence to attack with precision.
Ceni’s side have a midfield engine to power their attacking play, a spark of creativity and a real goal threat, so they have the qualities required to push up the table and contend for Copa Libertadores qualification. Our EC Bahia vs SC Internacional RS preview confirms that Bahia's current form makes them a tough opponent for any team.
No game for Internacional if they are on their game
Pragmatic and versatile Internacional RS are a different sort of side who adapt to the challenge and can play a direct, physical game from a 4-1-4-1 formation or control the pace of play in a possession-heavy 4-2-3-1. Whichever formation they play, their men are an exciting team to watch as they have the midfield quality to dictate the flow of the match and the flair up top to change the course of games in an instant.
The visitors will not lack confidence for this clash, but they are a bit of an all or nothing team when it comes to EC Bahia vs SC Internacional RS prediction contests of this nature, and their form has been mixed to solid, with their U20s avoiding defeat in 7 of their last 10 matches.
