Bragantino hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 23 points and a 15th position in the Serie A table. Visiting Bahia holds 9th place with 28 pts.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
It's quite the trip for Bahia when visiting Bragantino as the cities are 1900 kilometers apart.
Bragantino form and stats
Overall Serie A stats at home this season for Bragantino are 4-3-3 (wins-draw-losses).
Happy days for Bragantino in their previous game, a Serie A match away at Botafogo (placed 19th) that ended with a 2-1 victory. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Santos.
Bragantino has scored 14 league goals at home this season, in 10 matches. Bragantino have conceded 11 in these home matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Bahia form and stats
There's been little loot from Bahia's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 10 away games in the Serie A. Bahia only have 2 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 3 draws.
Bahia play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-1 victory visiting Coritiba (placed 18th). Prior to that match, a home win 2-1 against Fortaleza.
Zeca came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Coritiba last time out, making the manager L. Venker de Menezes feel like a tactical genius.
A new game in only four days for Bahia, the Copa Sudamericana home match versus Union Santa Fe. Busy days.
The visiting Bahia have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 11 goals from 10 games. Bahia's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 16 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
