Athletico Paranaense vs Bahia is available to watch live via Fanatiz and Premiere. Details for both services are listed below.
Athletico Paranaense host Bahia in a Serie A fixture that pits two sides separated by just one place in the table, with both clubs firmly in contention at the top end of the division.
Odair Hellmann's Athletico Paranaense come into this match in mixed form. They drew their most recent league outing 3-3 against Coritiba, a result that continued a run of inconsistency that has seen them fail to win in four of their last five Serie A games.
Bahia arrive in considerably sharper form under Rogerio Ceni. The visitors have won four of their last five league matches, including a 2-1 victory over Remo in their most recent outing, and they carry genuine momentum into this fixture.
The head-to-head record between these sides has tilted toward Bahia in recent seasons. Their 3-0 win at home against Athletico Paranaense earlier this campaign will give Ceni's squad confidence heading into enemy territory.
With both teams positioned inside the top four, this is a direct confrontation between sides with genuine ambitions for the upper reaches of the Serie A table.
