Internacional will welcome Bahia to Estádio Beira-Rio in their final group stage match of the Copa Libertadores on Wednesday. This is a must-win match for the visitors, as a draw will help their opponents Internacional finish second in Group F and progress to the next round.
The hosts overcame Nacional in their previous Libertadores outing in a 2-0 away win. Ricardo Mathias scored late in the first half while Braian Aguirre added a goal in stoppage time. They extended their unbeaten streak in all competitions to four games last week when they were held to a 1-1 draw by Sport Club do Recife in the Brazilian Serie A.
Bahia have lost their last two games in the Libertadores, including a 1-0 away loss to Atletico Nacional last time around. Their winning streak was ended after two games last week when they lost 1-0 away to Gremio in the Brazilian Serie A.

Internacional are unbeaten in their last four games, playing two draws. They have scored at least two goals in six of their last seven home games and will look to build on that form.
Bahia have lost their last three away games and will look to improve upon that record. They have registered just one win in this fixture since 2014, which is a cause for concern.
