- Competition: Copa do Nordeste
- Date: Wednesday, 4th June 2025
- Kickoff: 23:00 UK / 00:00 CEST
- Venue: Estádio Estadual Lourival Baptista (Aracaju)
Copa do Nordeste is another interesting league in Brazil. Historically, the competition was more important, as the champions were granted a spot in the Copa Libertadores or Copa Sudamericana. However, now the winner receives only a place in the Copa do Brasil. Bahia have already secured the playoff position, while Confianca needs one or two more good games to secure a spot in the quarterfinal phase.
Confianca have had a terrible season so far. They collected only seven points in eight Serie C games, so only Anapolis is worse than them. It is too early in the season, but a poor start certainly worries. Confianca were in a bad run lately with five games in a row without a victory, but in the previous match, they won 4-1 at home against Brusque. In most matches of the season, Confianca had problems with efficiency, but they brought their A-game that time.
Bahia are playing well so far this season. They are sixth on the Serie A table, and it seems that Rogerio Ceni's team will fight for the spots that bring the Copa Libertadores. Bahia had some bad games lately, but they found their good form in the previous league match when Ceni's team won 2-1 at home against Sao Paulo. That match could go either way, but Bahia showed what they are truly capable of.
Confianca vs Bahia pick: Under 2.5 goals
Confianca scored four goals in the last four matches, while Bahia scored three in the previous three games. We shouldn't expect more than two goals in the upcoming match in Aracaju.

Bahia team news
Following a 2-1 win against Sao Paulo, Bahia's head coach, Rogerio Ceni, stated that the team will field younger players against Confianca. He said, "In the next game, against Confianca, we will not use the players who have been playing recently. We will use some younger players and under-20 players. We have been working for 133 days and have played 41 games. Our bodies and minds need rest. We will plan a schedule so that in Wednesday's game, the younger players, like Ruan Pablo, can also be watched."
