Athletico PR could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Serie A game only three sleeps ago.

Bahia form and stats

6 victories, 1 draw and 7 defeats. That’s what Bahia, who have the most conceded goals (51) in Serie A, have to build on here at Arena Fonte Nova in the Serie A. Game days at Arena Fonte Nova have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Bahia as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.

An away draw last time out for Bahia, facing Atlético GO in a game that ended 1-1. Heartbreak before that as Bahia lost 1-2 at Grêmio's place.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Bahia as they are travelling to their away game against Sport Recife in the Serie A. That match is four days after this one.

The Bahia fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 19 in 14 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Bahia defense is not exactly impregnable. 21 goals conceded from 14 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
