With their 15 point advantage in the league table, Bahia fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Ceará.

The visiting Ceará played their last game only four days ago, a Serie A match. That game was also an away game, at Santos. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

Ceará have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1100 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Bahia form and stats

The story so far in the Serie A for Bahia, who have the most clean sheets (14) in Serie A, at their home stadium (Arena Fonte Nova) is 7 wins, 4 draws and 2 defeats.

A good away victory last time out for Bahia, who won 1-0 against Gremio (placed 7th). Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Fluminense (0-2).

Bahia goalkeeper Douglas Friedrich did an outstanding job against Gremio with 6 saves, so vital to securing the victory.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Bahia matches with similar probabilities have ended with 2 wins, 0 draws and 0 defeats (from two games).

The Bahia fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 17 in 13 matches. From these home matches, Bahia have conceded only 9 goals.

Ceará form and stats

There's been little loot from Ceará's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 13 away games in the Serie A. Ceará, who have the fewest points (5) away in Serie A, only have 1 win to counter their 10 defeats and 2 draws. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in ten away games in a row.

Two away games in a row for Ceará, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 1-2 versus Santos in the Serie A. Prior to that match, a home win 1-0 against Avaí.

A huge disappointment for Ceará in their last match (vs Santos). Leading 1-0 the victory seemed almost certain, but a fascinating collapse turned everything around and in the end all points were lost in a 1-2 defeat.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Ceará when being an outsider away as they are today, we find four matches with the visitors losing 1 time, drawing 2 and winning 1 game.

The visitors have scored 9 goals from 13 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. 18 goals have been conceded by Ceará in these games.

Head 2 Head

The most recent history between these sides is the Ceará - Bahia 0-0 played earlier this season. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: 5 wins for Bahia, 3 draws and 2 wins for Ceará. Over 2,5 goals: 4 times; under 2,5 goals: 6 games.
