There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Serie A table so far. Here's the Bahia - Fortaleza latest:

Bahia and Fortaleza should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1100 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
