Fortaleza positively started the season keeping their place in the top ten of the Brazilian league and will be the favorite in this matchup.

Fortaleza to Win
With only one defeat in their first eight games of the season, Fortaleza players did a good job of keeping their net clean in most of their matches. That can't be said about Bahia who is on the outskirts of the relegation zone with only two wins from their eight games. The visiting team lost three out of their past four matches and will be hard-pressed to get a decent result from their visit to Fortaleza. The home side on this day won the last three matches between these teams including both of their games in the last season's Cup competition.
Over 2.5 Goals
We are looking at the ‘over' goals in this second Fortaleza vs Bahia prediction, and the basis of this bet is their h2h record. The last four times they faced each other, those matches went over the two-and-a-half goal mark including the last two when Fortaleza was the home team. Looking at the current stats for over/under bet, Bahia had three games with more than two goals scored from their past five while Fortaleza went over the line four times during the same span of games. A bit of a counterargument is the stat for Fortaleza's home record, only one out of the four matches they played in front of their fans went over the 2.5 goal line.

Fortaleza vs Bahia Lineups, Team News, and Match Preview
Fortaleza
The home side had a good last season finishing in the eighth spot in Serie A while at the same time trying to maintain a good roster for the new season. This is a club from the city of the same name in the State of Ceara and is not all too well funded which means that most of the players they bring are loan signings or free agents. Fernando Miguel and Pedro Rocha are injured.
Provisional lineup: Joao Ricardo, Bruno Pacheco, Titi, Britez, Tinga, Moises, Caio Alexandre, Hercules, Calebe, Thiago Galhardo, Lucero.
Bahia
They were promoted to the Top Division after finishing the last season as the third-placed team in Serie B. With only two wins from their opening eight matches of the current season, it is reasonable to assume that they will be in trouble when trying to maintain their status in Serie A. Matheus Bahia, Yago Felipe, Raul Gustavo, and Marcos Victor are missing the match through injury.
Provisional lineup: Marcos Felipe, Kanu, David Duarte, Vitor Hugo, Vitor Jacare, Thaciano, Rezende, Jhoanner Chavez, Cauly, Everaldo, Biel.
