Fluminense aim to extend 14-year unbeaten run against Bahia in Rio | OneFootball

Fluminense and Bahia face each other for the fourth time this season this Sunday at Maracanã, in a decisive match for the final round of the Brazilian Championship. The clash is worth a direct spot in the Libertadores. And the Tricolor das Laranjeiras comes into the game carrying a highly favorable record when playing at home.

The last time Fluminense lost at home to Bahia was 14 years ago, in 2011, when the team from Bahia beat Flu 1-0 in the Brasileirão. Since then, the Carioca Tricolor has gone 10 consecutive games unbeaten, with 7 wins and 3 draws against the opponent in Rio de Janeiro.

Flu's home record since 2012:

The last Bahia victory in Rio was in 2011 (1×0), in the Brazilian Championship, still at Engenhão.

With a direct spot in the Libertadores at stake, Fluminense is betting on the strength of Maracanã and the weight of its recent history to secure qualification in front of its fans.
