Game Overview
The 32nd round match of the 2025 Campeonato Brasileiro features Atletico Mineiro hosting Bahia. Atletico Mineiro seeks to escape the lower part of the table with only one win in their last five matches, while Bahia fights to consolidate their position in the top 5. The match takes place at Arena MRV, with Atletico having home advantage and some key players returning from suspension, although their head coach Sampaoli is suspended.
Key Factors to Consider
- Atletico Mineiro has struggled recently with just one win in their last five games and managed a 0-0 draw against Internacional last weekend. Bahia won their last match 2-1 against Red Bull Bragantino but have a poor away record with four consecutive losses away and their last away win dating back to August against Corinthians.
- Earlier in the season, Bahia defeated Atletico Mineiro 2-1 at home. The referee Davi De Oliveira Lacerda officiated that match. Atletico has had mixed results under this referee, with several draws and losses including a 3-0 defeat to Fluminense at Maracanã.
- Atletico Mineiro will be missing central defender Vitor Hugo and head coach Jorge Sampaoli due to suspensions. However, Gustavo Scarpa and Guilherme Arana return from suspension. Bahia has no major injury concerns reported.
- The match's timing in the season (late phase) adds pressure for Atletico Mineiro to gain points. The venue, Arena MRV, offers a strong home atmosphere. The referee has previously overseen some Atletico matches with mixed results.
- Atletico Mineiro is motivated to climb away from relegation threats, making these points vital. Bahia aims to secure a top 4 finish and Champions League qualification spots, adding high motivation despite their poor away form.
