Bahia will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today's opponents. The home side are currently 1 point behind Internacional.

Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

Internacional have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 3100 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 3 defeats.

The Bahia fans got no joy from their last match, a Serie A game also here at Arena Fonte Nova: A 1-2 defeat against Ceará (placed 15th). Before that match, a win away at Gremio.

This is expected to be a close game, with Bahia perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Bahia as a small favourite), we find five games. Bahia has won 2 of these, drawn 1 and lost 2.

The Bahia fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 18 in 14 matches. From these home matches, Bahia have conceded only 11 goals.

Internacional form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Internacional so far with only 11 points returning home. The records show 3-2-8 (win-draw-lose).

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Serie A home defeat versus Vasco da Gama with 0-1 on the scoreboard. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Avaí at their stadium, the result 2-0.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Internacional playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were 2 Internacional wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats.

The attacking power of Internacional when travelling is not overwhelming with 11 goals scored from 13 league matches away. Internacional have conceded 16 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

The teams have played each other before this season, with the result Internacional - Bahia 3-1 entered in the official records. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: 3 wins for Bahia, 1 draw and 6 wins for Internacional. Over 2,5 goals: 3 times; under 2,5 goals: 7 games.
