Latest Internacional vs Bahia team information
Internacional will be without two key players: striker Enner Valencia and goalkeeper Sergio Rochet. However, Rafael Borré has returned from a thigh injury and could start.
Young talent Ricardo Mathias was injured and had to leave the pitch early against Sport, so Borré's return is timely. If Borré starts, he will be supported by Alan Patrick - Inter's leading scorer in the 2025 Libertadores with 5 goals, just one goal away from equaling the club record.
On Bahia's side, Jean Lucas - the midfielder who scored 3 goals in the tournament - continues to be the biggest threat, while Luciano Rodriguez will play highest up front.
Bahia's squad situation is still very worrying: Erick has just had thigh surgery, Kanu has a calf injury, and Ademir Santos has not yet recovered his muscles.
Latest Internacional vs Bahia predicted lineup
International:
Anthony; Aguirre, Vitao, Gabriel, Bernabei; Ronaldo, Maia; Prado, Patrick, Tabata; Borre
Bahia:
Marcos; Arias, Duarte, Ramos, Juba; Ribeiro, Alexandre, Lucas; Souza, Pulga; Rodriguez
Latest football prediction Internacional vs Bahia
Atletico Nacional (9 points) has secured the top spot in Group F before the final round, and the remaining ticket to the knockout round will be a competition between Internacional (8 points) and Bahia (6 points).
Internacional – two-time Copa Libertadores winners (most recently in 2010) – need only a draw at home in Beira-Rio to qualify. They beat Nacional 2-0 in their last match thanks to goals from Ricardo Mathias and Braian Aguirre, giving them a huge advantage.
Inter's form has improved recently. After a run of three defeats in early May, they are now unbeaten in four games in all competitions. However, a 1-1 draw with Sport Recife last weekend left them 14th in the Brazilian Campeonato Brasileiro.
However, Inter have a very good home record in the Libertadores group stage: they have lost just one of their 32 games since the turn of the 21st century, winning 25. They are also unbeaten in their last three meetings with Bahia in continental competition.
In the first leg, Bahia almost caused a surprise when leading Inter 1-0 thanks to a goal by Jean Lucas, but Enner Valencia equalized in the 84th minute. Bahia is currently ranked 3rd in Group F with 6 points after 5 matches and is facing the risk of having to play in the Copa Sudamericana.
A 1-0 defeat to Atletico Nacional in their last game could prove costly for Bahia if they fail to win this one. In fact, they are on a run of three consecutive away defeats in all competitions, including defeat to Gremio last weekend – which has seen them drop to seventh in Serie A.
Bahia have won the Brazilian title twice (1959 and 1988) but have never made it past the quarter-finals of the Copa Libertadores – and against a seasoned opponent like Inter, the chances of a surprise are slim.
