It's ground zero in Copa do Nordeste - the first game of the season. Read the full preview and see how Santa Cruz and Bahia did in their pre-season friendlies!

It's no vacation for neither Santa Cruz nor Bahia 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 have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Santa Cruz form and stats

The manager I. Schülle will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to CRB in only four days.

Disaster struck Santa Cruz last season as they could not defend their status as a Pernambucano 1 team. With 0 defeats from zero games, and only 0 wins, relegation could not be avoided. Santa Cruz are hopeful of bouncing straight back up, but need to improve upon their home record from last season of W0 D0 L0.

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.
