The visiting Bahia U20 played their last game only four days ago, a Baiano U20 match. That game was also an away game, at Juazeiro BA U20. 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.

Both teams to score! That has occurred in 7 league games in a row for this club. Could it happen again?

Bahia U20 form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Brasileiro U20 travels is 2 wins, 0 draws and 2 defeats.

Bahia U20 play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 4-2 victory visiting Juazeiro BA U20. That win felt good as this club had gone three league games without winning. A bizarre match with an abundance of goals last time out for Bahia U20, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that entertaining match, will this fixture be as much fun?

That result followed a home victory 2-0 versus UNIRB U20.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only two days as another away game awaits: The Baiano U20 trip to SSA U20.

Bahia U20 are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 3 times in 4 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
