This is the Serie A season opener for these teams, who are finally competing for points again. Will Botafogo or Bahia get that important first win?

Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

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.
