Athletico PR have 20 points performing as the host team. Bahia have gained 13 points being the away side. Will this be a home win?

Insights:
  • Athletico PR have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Bahia have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.

These teams have little in common geographically as Bahia have to travel 2400 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Athletico PR and Bahia.

Athletico PR form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Alinja Arena as Athletico PR have scored 12 goals to get 16 points from 7 games. The overall stats in the Serie A are 5-1-1 (wins-draws-losses).

The Athletico regulars got no joy from their last game, a Copa do Brasil duel also played here at Alinja Arena: A 0-2 defeat against Flamengo. Bueno, an attacker, was the declared top performer for the side in that game, earning a rating of 8.13 (out of 10). Bueno hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Fortaleza (0-1).

A decent goal production from Athletico PR in their home games so far, with 12 goals from 7 league matches.

Bahia form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Bahia so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-4 (win-draw-lose).

It's another away fixture for the visitors, as they travelled to Gremio in their previous outing. The Copa do Brasil battle ended 1-1. Goalkeeper Felipe got the top player rating of the team with 9.64/10. Felipe saved a penalty.

A 1-1 draw at Cuiaba's stadium before that.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Bahia as they have only managed to score 4 times from 7 away games in the league. 10 goals have been conceded by Bahia in these games.

Head 2 Head
