We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

São Paulo have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Bahia form and stats

When playing at home in the Serie A, Bahia have managed 5 wins, 4 draws and suffered 5 defeats from 14 games.

The home team returns to Arena Fonte Nova after being equal after 90 minutes with Juventude (placed 18th) on their last time out; the Serie A game ended 0-0. Renan Guedes was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.44 out of 10. The defender Guedes won 14 of 20 duels.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Ceara that ended 1-1.

There will be little rest for Bahia after this match as they are travelling to Flamengo for a Serie A game 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 19 in 14 matches. On the other hand, Bahia have conceded 18 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

A 0-1 defeat away at Bragantino before that.
