Fortaleza battle against Bahia for glory and sporting success.

Insights:
  • Fortaleza have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded.
  • Bahia have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded.

The visiting Bahia played their last game only three days ago, a Copa Sudamericana match. That game was also an away game, at Torque. 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.

These teams have little in common geographically as Bahia have to travel 1100 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

There are 26 state football leagues in Brazil. Because of long distances in Brazil a very competitive football culture developed within each state. Therefore, Brazil remain one of the few countries who still run state championships alongside the national ones. Most of them run from January to May, outside the national season.
