Competition: Brazil Serie A
Date: Sun 18.August
Match begins: 19:00 (UTC)
Venue: Arena Fonte Nova (56500 seats)

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 14th.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Goiás have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1600 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Goiás form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Goiás so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-5 (win-draw-lose). Three has not been a lucky number for Goiás as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Atlético Mineiro match. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Goiás have lost on their last two travels.

The manager Claudinei Oliveira was unhappy after their last game, a Serie A match played at their home ground Arena Fonte Nova. Goiás suffered a 0-1 loss to Vasco da Gama. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Corinthians wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

The attacking power of Goiás when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored in 7 matches. For Goiás, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last eight matches): Bahia 4 wins, 2 draws and Goiás 2 victories. As for goals, 5 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 3 games had two or less.
