Fluminense struggle at Fonte Nova, but lead Bahia historically | OneFootball

Fluminense returns to Fonte Nova trying to end a recent uncomfortable record against Bahia in Salvador. Despite having a historical advantage as a visitor, the Tricolor hasn't won in the Bahian capital for four seasons.

The last victory on Bahian soil happened in the 2020 Brasileirão, in a match played in February 2021 due to the calendar delay caused by the pandemic. On that occasion, Flu won 1-0, with a goal by Moleque de Xerém Luiz Henrique.

Since then, the scenario has been favorable to the Steel Squad. In the last encounters in Salvador, Fluminense accumulated defeats and a draw:

Bahia 1×0 Fluminense – Copa do Brasil 2025

Bahia 3×3 Fluminense – Brasileirão 2025

Bahia 2×1 Fluminense – Brasileirão 2024

Bahia 1×0 Fluminense – Brasileirão 2023

Bahia 2×0 Fluminense – Brasileirão 2021

Bahia 0x1 Fluminense – Brasileirão 2020

Despite the recent negative streak, the Tricolor holds an advantage in the overall record in Salvador. In 48 matches played with Bahia as the host, Fluminense has 18 wins, 16 draws, and 14 losses, achieving a 48.6% point success rate.

Now, the team led by Luis Zubeldía tries to use the favorable history as fuel to break the drought and win again at Fonte Nova.
