Bahia hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 32 points and a 17th position in the Serie A table. Visiting Corinthians holds 10th place with 45 pts.
- Bahia has the most conceded goals in the first half (26) in Serie A
It's no vacation for neither Bahia nor Corinthians as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
It's quite the trip for Corinthians when visiting Bahia as the cities are 1900 kilometers apart.
Bahia form and stats
Overall Serie A stats at home this season for Bahia are 7-1-7 (wins-draw-losses).
In their previous game, the manager L. Cavalcanti led his Bahia to a defeat in the Serie A match away at Sport Recife. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Arena Fonte Nova. Before that, Bahia had a home game versus Atletico PR which ended with a victory 1-0.
Bahia are traveling soon after this match as the Serie A match at Vasco da Gama awaits in three days.
The Bahia fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 20 in 15 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 21 goals have been conceded.
Corinthians form and stats
5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses. That’s the product of Corinthians playing as the away team in the Serie A this season.
Corinthians failed to get anything from their last game, a Serie A home match vs Bragantino (placed 11th) that ended with defeat 0-2. That result followed a home victory 3-0 versus Sport Recife.
The attacking power of Corinthians when travelling is not overwhelming with 14 goals scored from 15 league matches away. Corinthians have conceded 17 goals in these away matches.
