The Bahia manager R. Machado Marques attacks this game with the team placed 9th so far. In the visitors dressing room Palmeiras and their manager V. Luxemburgo da Silva are in 4th place before this match.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
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.
