An important duel in the bottom section of the Brasileiro U20, with both Bahia U20 and Vasco U20 experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 18th and the visitors in 20th place.

It's no vacation for neither Bahia nor Vasco U20 as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Bahia U20 form and stats

Bahia U20 have collected 4 points from their Brasileiro U20 home games so far after 1-1-2. The last three games played by Bahia U20, regardless of arena, have all ended draws.

Preceding that match was the home Copa Do Brasil U20 game against Ceara U20 (after extra-time, 6-5 on penalties) that was lost 1-2.

This is expected to be a close game, with Bahia U20 perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Bahia as a small favourite), we find three games. Bahia U20 has won one of these, drawn two and lost zero.

Bahia are traveling soon after this match as the Brasileiro U20 match at Santos U20 awaits in three days.

The Bahia fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 5 in 4 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 7 goals have been conceded.

Vasco U20 form and stats

0-2-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Vasco U20 in their Brasileiro U20 matches away.

Vasco play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 3-1 victory visiting Portuguesa RJ U20. Ahead of that match was the Brasileiro U20 away draw versus Atletico-PR U20 that ended 3-3.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found seven similar matches played by Vasco in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Vasco U20, two draws and two defeats.

A new game in only two days for Vasco U20, the Carioca U20 home match versus Nova Iguacu U20. Busy days.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Vasco have scored 5 goals in 5 league games away. Vasco's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 8 goals from these trips.
