Bahia v Cruzeiro: Sudamericana push meets table climb bid | OneFootball

Bahia face Cruzeiro in the Brasileirão at Arena Fonte Nova on Sunday, 10 May 2026, with the hosts looking to consolidate a top-six spot and the visitors aiming to climb from 15th.

Bahia are sixth on 22 points after 13 games. Cruzeiro are 15th with 16 from 14.

Tricolor Baiano come off back-to-back 2-2 league draws with Santos and São Paulo. Cruzeiro beat RB Bragantino, Grêmio and Remo before losing to Atlético Mineiro and drawing at Universidad Católica.

Esquadrão de Aço are without Ronaldo, Caio Alexandre and Ruan Pablo. For Raposa, Cássio is out, Kaiki and Keny Arroyo are suspended, and Kauã Prates is injured.

At home, Tricolor Baiano have scored 10 and conceded six. Cruzeiro have five away goals but have let in 14, so the hosts could look to exploit the flanks with Kaiki missing on the left of the defence.

A win would take Tricolor Baiano to 25 points and firm up their Sudamericana push. Three points for Raposa would move them to 19 and could pull them further from the relegation places.
