Game week two of the Serie A season and the teams have had a few days to digest the first match. Here's the Bragantino - Bahia preview:
It's no vacation for neither Bragantino nor Bahia as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Bahia 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.
Bragantino form and stats
Last season, Bragantino's league statistics were 6 wins, 5 draws and 1 loss, resulting in a 1st position in the Paulista A1. Over these twelve matches they scored 15 goals and conceded 7. Playing at home last season Bragantino managed 3-3-0 (win-draw-lost) with 7 goals and 3 conceded.
Nothing to worry about in defence for Bragantino, as their goalkeeper Cleiton Schwengber has completely shut out the opponents for 415 minutes in the Serie A.
The fans are hoping that Bragantino will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the Copa do Brasil game against Fluminense (placed 12th).
A strong away win before that one, visiting Chapecoense and winning 3-0.The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Bragantino handle that role? We have found nine games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are three wins, five draws and one defeat.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Bragantino as they have a new game in only four days, a Copa do Brasil match thankfully also at home. Fluminense are visiting.
Bahia form and stats
Let's have a look at how Bahia performed last season in the Copa do Nordeste: They landed a 14th position in the league table after playing out 12 victories, 8 draws and 18 defeats. In total they scored 48 and conceded 59 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 3 - drew 6 and lost 10 with 21/33 goals scored/conceded.
340 minutes! That's how long the Bahia goalkeeper Mateus Eduardo Claus and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
It's the second away game in a row for Bahia, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Vila Nova in the Copa do Brasil last time out.
Prior to that match, a home win 3-0 against Santos in the Serie A.We have checked recent matches where Bahia have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those five games were zero victories, one draw and four defeats.
A quick return to home after this game, as Bahia are hosting Vila Nova in the Copa do Brasil only four days away.
Head 2 Head
As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's five Bragantino victories, two draws and three Bahia wins. Over/under statistics; six of these games ended with three goals or more, four matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
