- EC Bahia: Currently sitting in a comfortable 6th position with 56 points from 35 games. They boast a record of 16 wins, 8 draws, and 11 losses, with a positive goal difference of +4. Bahia has performed consistently throughout the campaign and will be looking to solidify their standing and potentially push for higher continental qualification spots.
- SC Recife: Enduring a nightmare season, Recife occupies the bottom spot (20th) in the league table. With a mere 17 points from 35 games (2 wins, 11 draws, 22 losses), and a dreadful goal difference of -38, they are firmly rooted in the relegation zone, likely already mathematically relegated. Their form has been historically poor, making this a challenging trip.

Historically, matches between EC Bahia and SC Recife have seen some interesting outcomes, with the last five Série A encounters from 2020-2025 producing:
- SC Recife 0 – 0 EC Bahia (2025)
- SC Recife 1 – 0 EC Bahia (2021)
- EC Bahia 0 – 1 SC Recife (2021)
- SC Recife 2 – 0 EC Bahia (2021)
- EC Bahia 1 – 2 SC Recife (2020)
While the historical head-to-head record (4 wins for Recife, 1 draw, 0 for Bahia in the last five league meetings) might suggest a competitive rivalry, it’s crucial to acknowledge the significant shift in both clubs’ fortunes this season. The sole encounter in the current 2025 season resulted in a goalless draw at Recife’s home, but playing at home now, Bahia will be keen to break this winless streak against their opponents.
Our Prediction
Considering the current league form, motivation, and home advantage, EC Bahia is the overwhelming favorite in this fixture. SC Recife’s dismal season and almost certain relegation status mean they are likely to lack the cohesion and morale to compete effectively against a strong Bahia side aiming to finish their season on a high note. While historical head-to-head results can sometimes be a factor, the current season’s performance disparity is simply too vast to ignore. Expect Bahia to dominate and secure a comfortable victory.
