Bahia battle against Bragantino for glory and sporting success.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Bahia and Bragantino.

These teams have little in common geographically as Bragantino have to travel 1900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
