A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Atlético Mineiro fans are optimistic that the difference between 3rd and Bahia's 16th place in the table will show on the pitch.

Insights:
  • Atlético Mineiro has the most points (42) at home in Serie A
  • Atlético Mineiro have scored at least twice as many goals at home as Bahia have scored away.

Atlético Mineiro have less rest than Bahia in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Serie A game only three days ago. That game was an away game at Fluminense, so at least Atlético are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Bahia have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1400 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

The season is still full of potential for Atlético Mineiro as they can still win the whole Serie A. Bahia are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.

After failing to beat Internacional here at Estádio Raimundo Sampaio, Atlético has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with four wins in a row.

Bahia form and stats

There's been little loot from Bahia's travels as they have only collected 11 points from 17 away games in the Serie A. Bahia only have 2 wins to counter their 10 defeats and 5 draws.

Bahia's last game was the home draw against Goias (3-3). A loss against Fluminense was the result prior to that, in a home game.

As you can tell from the result, the match against Goias was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today? As mentioned above, Bahia drew the match against Goias. Manager L. Cavalcanti brought on Alesson to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked.
