The action continues in round 19 of Brasileiro Serie A as Atletico Goianiense and Bahia lock horns at the Estádio Antônio Accioly on Wednesday. Vagner Mancini’s men will be looking to get their season back on track as they find themselves scrambling for points at the bottom of the table.
Atletico Goianiense were left empty-handed once against as they fell to a 3-1 defeat against Fortaleza at the Estadio Castelão on Sunday.
Mancini’s side have now lost five games on the bounce and are without a win in their last nine matches since scraping a 2-1 victory over fellow strugglers Fluminense on June 16.
With 11 points from 18 matches, Goianiense are currently rooted to the bottom of the Serie A table, only below Fluminense on goal difference.
Bahia, on the other hand, failed to find their feet as they fell to a 1-0 defeat against Cortinthans at the Fonte Nova Arena on Sunday.
Rogério Ceni’s men have now lost three of their last four matches, having picked up three wins in the four games preceding this run.
With 30 points from 18 matches, Bahia are currently sixth in the Serie A standings but could move into fourth place with all three points on Wednesday.

While Bahia have failed to win the last five meetings between the sides, Goianiense’s home form should give them plenty of optimism heading into Wednesday.
That said, we predict a cagey affair at the Estádio Antônio Accioly, with Ceni’s men claiming a narrow victory against the floundering hosts.
Prediction: Atletico Goianiense 1-2 Bahia
