Bahia are aching to get the points at their own stadium in the upcoming match versus Corinthians.
- Bahia have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Corinthians have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.
It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Corinthians, who are travelling more than 1900 kilometers to play this game.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Copa Sudamericana. That game was also an away game, at Universitario. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
