Competition: Brazil Serie A
Date: Thu 26.September
Match begins: 00:30 (UTC)
Venue: Arena Fonte Nova (56500 seats)

Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Bahia in 8th and Botafogo in 10th place.

These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Serie A.

Botafogo have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1600 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Bahia form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Arena Fonte Nova as Bahia have scored 14 goals to get 21 points from 10 games. The overall stats in the Serie A are 6-3-1 (wins-draws-losses).

In their previous game, the manager Roger Machado led his Bahia to a defeat in the Serie A match away at Corinthians. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Arena Fonte Nova. The points were shared before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Fortaleza.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Bahia's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played two games, won 2 matches, drawn 0 and lost 0.

The Bahia fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 14 in 10 matches. Bahia are not conceding a lot of goals here at Arena Fonte Nova in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 7 from 10 matches.
