It's the second chance for points this season as Botafogo and Bahia battle it out at Estádio Nilton Santos.
The visiting Bahia played their last game only four days ago, a Serie A match.
Bahia have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1600 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Botafogo form and stats
The fans are hoping that Botafogo will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the Serie A game against São Paulo. Prior to that, an away loss at Juventude in the Copa do Brasil.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Fortaleza are coming to town in three days.
Bahia form and stats
Bahia are travelling after their nice 3-2 home win in the Serie A against Corinthians. Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Londrina's place.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Avaí in just three days.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: 4 wins for Botafogo, 2 draws and 4 wins for Bahia.Botafogo missing players
