Bahia welcome Flamengo to Arena Fonte Nova on Sunday evening for Round 31 of the Serie A Regular Season, a fixture that finds the two clubs in markedly different positions in the table. The hosts sit sixth with 49 points from 30 matches, while Flamengo occupy second place on 64 points from the same number of outings — a gap of 15 points between them.
Bahia come into the match having taken 9 points from their last five Serie A fixtures. That run includes victories over Mirassol, Remo and RB Bragantino, though defeats against Palmeiras and Atletico Paranaense have kept their recent record uneven. With 13 wins, 10 draws and 7 losses across 30 matches, Bahia sit firmly in the top third of the 20-team table.
Flamengo arrive in considerably sharper form, collecting 13 points from their last five matches. Four wins — against Fluminense, RB Bragantino, Corinthians and Remo — are separated only by a draw at Santos. Their overall record of 19 wins, 7 draws and 4 defeats, with a goals tally of 58-25, places them in the top two of the Serie A table.
The most recent head-to-head meeting between these sides came on 19 April 2026, when Flamengo won 2-0. That result provides the only direct context for how the pair have fared against each other this season.
Bahia's 44 goals scored and 36 conceded across 30 matches contrasts with Flamengo's attacking and defensive numbers. With Bahia's 49 points already banked and Flamengo pushing from second position, the stakes at Arena Fonte Nova on Sunday are plain in the table for both sets of supporters.
