In a thrilling Brazilian Serie A match at the Estádio Vila Belmiro, Santos and Bahia played to a 2-2 draw on April 6, 2025. The game saw goals from Erick for Bahia in the 17th minute, Thaciano equalized for Santos in the 50th minute, Diego Pituca put Santos ahead in the 81st minute, and Luciano leveled the score for Bahia in the 90th minute. Santos, playing at home, dominated possession with 55.2% and had significantly more shots, totaling 21 compared to Bahia's 10. However, Bahia's defense, with 4 saves, proved resilient, while Santos' goalkeeper only had to make 1 save.
The match was also marked by a high number of fouls, with Bahia committing 16 and Santos 13, leading to 2 yellow cards for Bahia and a concerning 5 for Santos. This draw contradicts the AI's pre-game prediction of a Santos win, highlighting the unpredictable nature of football, especially in a balanced league like the Brazilian Serie A. The AI model did not expect a balanced game despite the team rates being relatively close (0.623 for Santos and 0.574 for Bahia). The AI predicted a 55.4% chance for Santos to win, 21.0% for Bahia, and a 23.6% for a draw.
Looking ahead, Santos will face Fluminense, who are coming off mixed results in both the Brazilian Serie A and CONMEBOL Sudamericana, including a recent loss to Fortaleza. Santos, having lost their last away game against Vasco da Gama, will need to improve their away form. Bahia's next challenge is against Cruzeiro, who have also had inconsistent results. Bahia's recent form shows a tendency for draws, including a draw in their recent CONMEBOL Libertadores match.
Considering the previous encounters, Santos has had mixed results against Fluminense, with a 0-3 loss in their most recent match in 2023. Bahia's recent head-to-head record against Cruzeiro shows a similar pattern of draws. The high number of draws in Bahia's recent games indicates a team that is difficult to beat but also struggles to secure victories. In the past, matches between Santos and Bahia have often been closely contested. Santos and Bahia drew in the Copa do Brasil and had a 3-0 win for Santos in the Brazilian Serie A, both in the 2023 season.
