The new season is about to kick off and the fans are tingling with excitement. It’s all to play for as Bahia welcome Santos for the opening game at Estádio Governador Roberto Santos. Read on!

It's no vacation for neither Bahia nor Santos 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 Santos have to travel 2000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Bahia form and stats

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Bahia have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found ten games) they have won five times, drawn one and lost four.

The manager L. Cavalcanti will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Vila Nova in only three days.
