Bahia vs Corinthians Prediction and Betting Tips | July 22, 2023

The action continues in the Brasileiro Serie A, as Bahia and Corinthians go head to head at the Fonte Nova Arena on Saturday (July 22). The two sides head into the weekend separated by just two points and one place in the bottom half of the standings, so a thrilling clash could ensue.

Bahia failed to find their feet last time out, as they suffered a 2-0 defeat against Athletico Paranaese at the Arena da Baixada on Sunday. Renato Paiva’s men have gone six games without a win, a run that has seen them suffer a Copa do Brasil quarter-final exit against Gremio.

With 13 points from 15 games, Bahia are 16th in the Serie A, two points and one place behind Corinthians.

Meanwhile, Corinthians booked their spot in the Round of 16 of the Copa Sudamericana, beating Universitario 2-1 on Wednesday to complete a 3-1 aggregate win.

Vanderlei Luxemburgo’s men now turn their attention to the domestic league, where they picked up a 1-0 win at Atletico Mineiro on July 8 to snap a two-game losing streak.

Corinthians head into the weekend on a run of fourwins, scoring seven goals and keeping two clean sheets since a 1-0 loss to America Mineiro in the Copa do Brasil on July 6.
