Bahia v Remo: top-six push meets relegation fight | OneFootball

Bahia host Remo in the Brasileirão on Monday, 14 September 2026 at Arena Fonte Nova, with a top-six bid up against a survival battle.

Bahia and Remo have already met three times in 2026, and Remo won all three, including a 4-1 league victory in March plus two Copa ties. That record frames a test for Bahia as they look to flip the recent head to head.

Bahêa have momentum: unbeaten in five league games, with three straight wins over RB Bragantino, Internacional and Vitória. Leão Azul are winless in five, drawing with Atlético Mineiro and Internacional before defeats to Fluminense, Coritiba and Flamengo.

Bahêa are without midfielder Erick (suspended), goalkeeper Léo Vieira and forward Mateo Sanabria (both injured). Leão Azul are missing midfielder Edson and defender Marcelinho through suspension. Those absences could shape midfield balance and defensive options.

Bahêa have scored 40 league goals with 54% possession and 11 headed goals, pointing to control and an aerial threat. Luciano sits among the league's leading scorers with eight. Leão Azul have conceded 43, so crosses from open play and delivery into the box could be a route the hosts look to target.

Tricolor Baiano would move to 46 points with a win and could tighten their grip on the Copa Libertadores places. Leão Azul would climb to 26 points and may cut the gap to safety, though they start the round in the relegation zone.
