Bahia vs Internacional: Bahia to win
Bahia's 1.4 expected goals versus Internacional's 0.9 gives the home side a clear edge, reflected in a 48.6% win probability from our model.
Both teams come into the clash with different recent trajectories: Bahia snapped a four‑match winless run with a 2‑0 away victory over Vitoria, while Internacional have remained unbeaten in their last four games after a 0‑2 loss at Atletico Paranaense.
Bez's Verdict
Bahia's superior expected goals and recent 2‑0 win push their win probability to 48.6%, making them the favorite.
Show the maths
With Bahia averaging 1.4 expected goals and Internacional averaging 0.9, the model gives a 55.3% chance at least one side fails to score, ahead of the 44.7% it gives to both teams scoring.
Show the maths
Combined expected goals of 2.3 (Bahia 1.4 + Internacional 0.9) points to a tighter game, with the model giving Under 2.5 Goals a 59.6% chance against 40.4% for Over.
Show the maths
Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Bahia at 48.6%, the draw at 27.2%, and Internacional at 24.2% to win.
The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-0 at 14.0% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Model probabilities are derived from each team's real season goals-for and goals-against averages via a Poisson goal-expectancy model — not a fixed set of narrative numbers.
Form Guide — Last 5
Bahia
Bahia's last five league games read D‑D‑D‑D‑W, highlighted by a 2‑0 away win over Vitoria and a 3‑3 draw at Chapecoense‑SC. The win breaks a four‑match winless streak and shows a goal‑scoring spike, reinforcing the model's view that Bahia can convert their 1.4 expected goals into a victory here.
Internacional
Internacional have posted L‑D‑D‑D‑D, with a 0‑2 loss to Atletico Paranaense followed by four draws, including two 1‑1 stalemates against Flamengo and Remo. The inability to secure a win despite multiple draws underlines their lower 0.9 expected goals and supports the view that they are unlikely to outscore Bahia.
Head-to-Head
In the last five meetings, Bahia have won twice (1‑0 on 15 March 2026 and 1‑0 on 22 October 2025) and drawn twice, indicating a slight edge that aligns with the model's win probability.
