Bahia welcome Coritiba to the Estadio Governador Roberto Santos in the Brasileirao midweek fixtures. Bahia missed out on the action in week one because their game at Botafogo was postponed. Coritiba suffered a 1-0 defeat in their opener when they hosted a tough Internacional side. Newly-promoted from the second tier, Coritiba's main priority will be avoiding immediate relegation. In Bahia, they come up against a team that finished 11th in the top flight last season. This is their fourth successive season in the top tier and head coach Roger Machado will be encouraged by their steady progress. Record title winners of their state championship, Bahia picked up a third consecutive state championship title before the Brasileirao season kicked off. This will be the first meeting between these two teams since 2017 and it's a fixture that traditionally features few goals. Three of the last six meetings have been goalless draws and the most recent game ended 1-1. The only team to actually win any of those six matches was Coritiba, once.

Coritiba made it to the final of their state championship but lost 3-1 on aggregate to Athletico Paranaense. They will be confident of getting a result, even if it is only a point, as they have done many times in the past. The last eight games Coritiba played at Bahia have ended level. What's more, Bahia haven't won any of their last ten games against Coritiba. These kind of statistics beg for punters to back the visitors and that's what we're advising. Place a draw no bet wager on Coritiba.
