This league campaign has been strenuous for Bahia so far, while Palmeiras have taken lots of points. Will the visiting team get the points at Arena Fonte Nova?
- Bahia have the most conceded goals in the second half (25) in Serie A
- Palmeiras is in the worst form (1-1-4)
It's no vacation for neither Bahia nor Palmeiras 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.
These teams have little in common geographically as Palmeiras have to travel 1900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Bahia form and stats
Bahia have played 11 Serie A games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-2-5 (wins-draws-losses).
Bahia enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Athletico PR's place. The match ended 2-0 with Gilberto and Rai scoring. Goalkeeper Danilo Fernandes got the top rating on the team in that game; 7.64 out of ten. Fernandes stopped the opponent with three saves and topped it up with a clean sheet.
Prior to that, an away loss at Corinthians.The manager D. Dabove will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to America Mineiro in only four days.
The Bahia fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 15 in 11 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 17 goals have been conceded.
Palmeiras form and stats
5-1-5 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Palmeiras in their Serie A matches away. Palmeiras has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
Palmeiras failed to get anything from their last game, a Serie A home match vs Bragantino (placed 5th) that ended with defeat 2-4. A crazy, crazy fixture with lots of goals last time out for Palmeiras, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that match, will this game be as gleeful? The attacker Dudu got a match rating of 8.32 in that game. Dudu scored one goal, hit the woodwork once, hit four key passes, dribled past the opponent 3 of 5 times and had 31 successful passes (of 36 total).
Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting America Mineiro's place.Palmeiras have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 11 league away games 14 goals have been scored. As opposed to that, Palmeiras have seen the ball go into their own net 11 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
Palmeiras - Bahia 3-2 was the scoreline in these squads' last head to head fixture, earlier this season. Head to head numbers (for the last ten meetings): Bahia won zero games, six matches ended with a draw and Palmeiras managed four wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: five / fiveTop Goalscorers
