Bahia vs Fortaleza EC Prediction (20.11.2025)

The battle for the top 5 and direct qualification to the Copa Libertadores group stage continues. Bahia currently occupies the fifth place, but Botafogo and Fluminense are closely behind. Now Bahia will try to achieve another home victory, which would not be a surprise. They have been performing strongly at home, with five consecutive wins and have won 12 of their 16 home matches so far, losing only one of them.

Fortaleza has four consecutive draws, but this is not enough to potentially save them from relegation. They are in second to last place and six points away from safety, with five rounds left until the end. Although they have three consecutive draws as guests, it remains a problem that they cannot win away. They have done so only once in their 16 visits so far.

Bahia will maintain their place in the top 5, while Fortaleza needs points in the fight for survival. The scales are clearly tilted in favor of the hosts. They are performing strongly on their home ground, while Fortaleza definitely has problems with away matches, and I expect all of this to lead to another success for Bahia.
