Bahia have been in poor form lately, with three matches without a win, including two draws and a loss. They have been conceding goals regularly and look shaky at the back. Cruzeiro, on the other hand, have won their last two matches, scoring several goals and looking much sharper in attack.

The recent meetings between these two teams have seen a lot of goals, with four of the last six matches ending with three or more goals. Given Bahia's struggles and Cruzeiro's strong recent form, this match looks fairly open and likely to have goals, but with the away side looking the stronger team overall.
