Bahia hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 12 points and a 16th position in the Serie A table. Visiting Vasco da Gama holds 9th place with 18 pts.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Bahia and Vasco da Gama.
It's quite the trip for Vasco da Gama when visiting Bahia as the cities are 1600 kilometers apart.
Bahia form and stats
With 2 Serie A wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats from their home games, Bahia, who have the most conceded goals (22) in Serie A, are certainly not brimming with confidence. It's been an uphill battle for Bahia in their home games for quite some time now, as four matches in a row are lost here. Not since the Palmeiras game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat.
The Bahia crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to Sport Recife here at Arena Fonte Nova in a Serie A match. Before that match, a win away at Botafogo.
Bahia are traveling soon after this match as the Serie A match at Fluminense awaits in four days.
Bahia are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 8 goals in 7 games. Bahia have conceded 12 from these games.
Vasco da Gama form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Serie A travels is 2 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Vasco are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Vasco play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-4 to Atletico Mineiro (placed 1st). Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Bragantino.
Vasco did not look prepared in the first half against Atletico Mineiro and lost the game during the first 45 minutes. They need to evaluate their pre-match routine before this one.
A new game in only three days for Vasco, the Serie A home match versus Flamengo. Busy days.
Vasco are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 10 times in 6 away games so far. Vasco have conceded 11 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: five wins for Bahia, one draw and four wins for Vasco da Gama. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: four games.Top Goalscorers
