Struggling América RN will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Bahia in the upcoming league round. It’s 7th vs 2nd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Copa do Brasil. That game was an away game at Juventude, so at least América RN are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

It's quite the trip for Bahia when visiting América RN as the cities are 1100 kilometers apart.
