The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Bahia are in the 10th position while the guests worry at 19th.
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 Chapecoense.
Chapecoense have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
