Fluminense will look to overturn a one-goal deficit when they host Bahia in the return leg of the Copa do Brasil quarter-finals, following a 1-0 loss in the first match. That opening leg was a tense, evenly matched contest, with both sides recording 10 attempts on goal and producing similar expected goals figures: Bahia 1.51, Fluminense 1.20.

Recent meetings between these two clubs have been highly competitive, with neither side establishing clear dominance. In the last 10 encounters, Fluminense have won five, Bahia four, while one ended in a draw.
At the Maracanã, however, the balance shifts decisively. Fluminense have won each of their last five home matches against Bahia, remaining unbeaten during that run.
Fluminense team overview
Renato Portaluppi’s men enter the second leg without strong momentum, having failed to win any of their last three matches across all competitions. Their most recent victory was a 2–0 success over América in the CONMEBOL Sudamericana. Home form remains encouraging, though, with Fluminense unbeaten in their last four matches at the Maracanã.
To overturn the deficit, the hosts will need patience and precision in possession to break down Bahia’s compact defence. Midfielders Otávio and Hércules will be central to dictating tempo and supplying line-breaking passes into advanced areas.

Bahia team overview
Bahia arrive buoyed by two consecutive wins in the Copa do Nordeste, including a commanding 9-1 aggregate triumph over Confiança, giving them six victories in their last eight matches across all competitions. One concern, however, is their inconsistency on the road - just two wins in their last seven away fixtures.
Even so, Bahia possess genuine counterattacking threat. With Éverton Ribeiro and Cauly providing creativity and control, and forwards Luciano Rodríguez and Ademir offering pace and directness, the visitors are well-equipped to strike when space opens up.

Prediction
Bahia’s recent performances and dominant Copa do Nordeste run highlight their attacking potential, but the quality of opposition in those matches was significantly lower than what they will face at the Maracanã. Despite Fluminense’s mixed form, history heavily favours the hosts: they have won five consecutive home meetings against Bahia and remain unbeaten in the last nine overall, with Bahia’s last victory dating back to 2011.
Fluminense’s home advantage and strong head-to-head record suggest they are well positioned to level the tie, though Bahia’s pace in transition means any lapse in concentration could be costly.
Three reasons we expect Fluminense to Win
- Fluminense have recorded five consecutive victories over Bahia in recent meetings.
- They are unbeaten in their last nine home matches against Bahia.
- Bahia, meanwhile, have managed just two wins in their past seven away fixtures.
