Bahia form and stats

Bahia, who have the most conceded goals (9) at home in Serie A, have collected 7 points from their Serie A home games so far after 2-1-2. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Bahia, their manager R. Machado Marques and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

Bahia's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-2 versus Grêmio (placed 10th). 2-2 away at Internacional before that.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Bahia have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won three times, drawn one and lost two.

The manager R. Machado Marques will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Corinthians in only three days.

The Bahia fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 5 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Bahia defense is not exactly impregnable. 9 goals conceded from 5 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Atlético GO form and stats

1 win, 1 draw and 2 losses. That’s the product of Atlético GO playing as the away team in the Serie A this season.

Atlético play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-1 victory visiting Vasco da Gama (placed 6th). A draw for Atlético before that, at their own venue hosting Grêmio (1-1).

Atlético are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, two draws and two defeats. From a total of six matches.

Atlético GO has another fixture away, a Copa do Brasil game, against Fluminense in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Atlético as they have only managed to score 3 times from 4 away games in the league. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Atlético have conceded 7 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.

Head 2 Head
