Today's game between Coritiba and Bahia will kick-off at May 25, 2026, 7:00 PM.
Coritiba vs Bahia will be broadcast live across the following platforms. TV channel and live stream options are listed below.
Coritiba host Bahia in a Serie A fixture that carries genuine weight for both clubs as the Brazilian top flight season builds momentum.
Coritiba arrive at this match having produced one of the results of the weekend, a commanding 3-0 win over Santos that gave Fernando Seabra's side a real boost. That victory came amid extraordinary scenes, with Neymar substituted by mistake during the defeat, sparking a furious confrontation on the touchline.
The win over Santos was not just about the scoreline. Coritiba had been struggling for consistency, losing three of their previous four games before that result, and the three points will have done plenty for confidence in the dressing room.
Bahia, managed by Rogerio Ceni, come into this fixture without a win in their last three outings across all competitions. A draw with Gremio in their most recent Serie A outing keeps them within touching distance of the top half, but Ceni will want a sharper performance here.
The two clubs sit close together in the Serie A table, which gives this match a competitive edge that goes beyond routine mid-season fixtures.

Starting XI
Substitutes
Manager
- F. Seabra
- R. Ceni
Coritiba are managed by Fernando Seabra, though no confirmed injury or suspension information is currently available for the home side. The projected XI has not been released at this stage, and team news will be updated closer to kick-off.
Bahia head coach Rogerio Ceni also has no confirmed absences listed at this point. As with Coritiba, further squad updates are expected to be provided ahead of the match.
Form
Coritiba's recent form tells the story of a side that has been inconsistent but capable of sharp performances. Their record across the last five matches reads one win, one draw, and three defeats, yet that single win came in emphatic fashion, a 3-0 victory over Santos that followed a 0-2 Cup defeat to the same opponents days earlier. A 2-2 draw with Internacional showed they can compete with stronger sides, though losses to Vitoria and Gremio before that had raised questions about defensive solidity.
Bahia have not won in their last five matches across all competitions, picking up two draws and suffering three defeats. Their most recent Serie A outing ended 1-1 against Gremio, continuing a pattern of dropped points. A 2-2 draw with Sao Paulo and another against Santos earlier in the run suggest they are scoring goals, but Ceni's side have conceded freely and have not managed a clean sheet in this stretch.
Head-to-Head Record
The most recent meeting between these two clubs ended in a 2-4 victory for Bahia at Coritiba's ground in September 2023, a result that underlines the away side's ability to perform in this fixture. Across the five head-to-head matches on record, Bahia hold the stronger record, winning three times to Coritiba's one, with one draw. Bahia have scored more freely in these encounters and have generally had the upper hand when the two sides have met in Serie A.
