Head-to-head statistics Bahia Ba - Sao Paulo
What’s behind Bahia’s inconsistency
Bahia's previous Serie A match on 25 October 2026 ended in a 1-1 draw away at Santos. Trailing 1-0 at half-time, the visitors faced 10 shots on target while managing only two of their own.
Bahia have won just one of their last five matches, losing three and drawing one. Over a longer run of ten games, they look slightly more consistent, with five wins, three defeats and two draws. They have averaged 1.6 goals scored per game across that ten-match stretch, though they have also been conceding at a fairly high rate - 1.5 goals per game. Overall, Bahia have been inconsistent at both ends of the pitch, and that has prevented them from climbing higher in the table.

The main storyline surrounding São Paulo
São Paulo's most recent Série A match on 24 October 2026 ended in a 1-1 draw away at Mirassol. São Paulo had the better of the possession - 55% and 501 passes to 414 - but were outshot 14-18.
São Paulo go into this match on the back of two defeats in their last five games, with two wins and a draw making up the rest of that run. Looking at a wider sample, four wins, four defeats and two draws from their last ten matches point to a modest points return with no consistent upward trend. They are not scoring freely - averaging 0.9 goals per game across those ten matches - while conceding at an average of one per game. Also worth noting is a pattern of low-scoring results away from home, reflected both in their own statistics and in a consistent trend across their recent away trips.

Total Goals Prediction
São Paulo have scored under 1.5 goals in 18 of their last 19 away matches, which is a clear trend. The statistics back up their low output on the road: just 0.75 goals per game on average this season and 0.25 in their last 10 away matches. Given these figures, São Paulo Team Total - Under 1.5 Goals at 1.39* looks a logical bet.
Safer Bet
Bahia have scored in 24 of their last 26 home matches, which points to a high likelihood of the hosts finding the net in this one. Even accounting for the fact that São Paulo concede an average of 1.44 goals per away game, Bahia look well placed to score at least once. Bahia Team Total - Over 0.5 at 1.15* looks like a reliable option.
Correct Score Prediction
According to the algorithm, the three most likely scorelines are 1-0 (12.51%), 1-1 (12.3%) and 0-0 (8.82%). All three reflect a tendency towards low-scoring football and are supported by both teams' low average scoring rates. The 1-0 result has the highest probability of the three, though the values are very close together.
*Odds are indicative and may vary depending on the bookmaker.
⭐ Editor's Prediction
Both sides are approaching the end of the season with maximum focus: Bahia have been low-scoring only in patches, while São Paulo consistently keep the overall goal tally down in their away matches - their last six away games this season have gone under 2.5 goals. With the sides evenly matched, another tight, low-chance affair looks the logical outcome. The editor's main prediction is Total Goals - Under 3.
