It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Vasco da Gama, who are travelling more than 1600 kilometers to play this game.

Bahia form and stats
When playing at home in the Serie A, Bahia have managed 4 wins, 3 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 10 games. When Bahia hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Santos, Internacional, Goias, Coritiba, Bahia and America Mineiro), they have won 2 of 3 matches! Two home wins in a row for Bahia bring valid hopes of a third.
In their previous game, the manager Paiva led his Bahia to a defeat away at Botafogo. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Arena Fonte Nova. Midfielder Cauly was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.01 (out of ten) in that game. Cauly hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.
Ahead of that match, Bahia won a home game hosting Bragantino (4-0).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 5 games) they have won 3 times, drawn 1 and lost 1.
Bahia have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Arena Fonte Nova with 18 goals in 10 league matches. On the other hand, Bahia have conceded 12 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.
Vasco da Gama form and stats
Vasco da Gama have only collected 6 points from their away games in the Serie A, after 1-3-6 (10 played).
There might be some fixture complaints from Vasco as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous game, 0-1 against Palmeiras. That defeat was their first after three consecutive league games winning points.
Prior to that match, a home win 1-0 against Atlético Mineiro.Vasco da Gama are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 0 wins, 2 draws and 7 defeats. From a total of 9 matches.
A tale of few goals? 9 of this club's most recent 10 league matches have seen two or less goals.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Vasco da Gama as they have only managed to score 9 times from 10 away games in the league. In the opposite end, Vasco have conceded 18 goals in their away games.
Head 2 Head
