The visiting Atlético Mineiro side should be favourites in this visit to Bahia, as the away team holds a 15 point advantage from their 15 league games this season.
The hosts Bahia saw competitive action as recent as three days ago, playing in the Serie A. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Goiás.
These teams have little in common geographically as Atlético Mineiro have to travel 1400 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
