Brazil - Série AStar
Bahia vs. Vitoria Match Preview Article
Welcome to the Turboscores match preview of the upcoming match between Bahia and Vitoria, taking place on Wednesday, 11 March 2026, at Arena Fonte Nova in Salvador.
Bahia, Recent Form
Bahia have set themselves up nicely for this match by securing a 1-0 away win against Vasco da Gama in their previous league match. They came away from that fixture with 38% of the possession and clocked up 8 attempts on goal with 3 on target. By comparison, Vasco da Gama managed 26 attempts on goal, with 4 on target.
Rogério Ceni will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 7 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 5 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 23 games in a row.
They have been on a decent run of form lately at Arena Fonte Nova, going undefeated in 5 of their previous 6 games there and notching up 4 wins along the way.
Vitoria, Recent Form
The Vitoria players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against Flamengo recently, that ended in a 2-1 defeat. Their share of possession in that meeting was 44%, while racking up 10 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target. Flamengo had 6 shots on goal with 2 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 7 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 11, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games.
This has been a difficult period for the team in terms of away form, with 3 defeats and just 2 victories in their last 6 matches away from home.
Bahia vs. Vitoria Head to head
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Bahia who ended up empty-handed, losing 2-1 to Vitoria.
Bahia will be confident of finding the net in this one against Leão da Barra, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 7 encounters between the two sides.
In the league, Bahia has an strong track record when they play host to Vitoria, notchng up a win in their last 4 home games.
