CSA hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 32 points and a 18th position in the Serie A table. Visiting Bahia holds 11th place with 45 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 CSA and Bahia.
CSA are fighting like crazy to avoid relegation and desperately need points in this fixture. Bahia is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.
CSA form and stats
CSA have played 17 Serie A games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 6-5-6 (wins-draws-losses). We have seen two home losses in a row now for CSA, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
A good away victory last time out for CSA, who won 1-0 against Cruzeiro (placed 17th). Preceding that match was the home game against Fluminense that was lost 0-1.
CSA goalkeeper Jordi did an outstanding job against Cruzeiro with 9 saves, so vital to securing the victory.

Bahia form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Bahia so far with only 17 points returning home. The records show 4-5-8 (win-draw-lose). With two straight losses from their last two away games, Bahia are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Bahia delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Atletico Mineiro (placed 14th) in their previous match; a Serie A game. Preceding that game, the 3-4 loss visiting Goias's place.
A quick return to home after this game, as Bahia are hosting Vasco da Gama in the Serie A only four days away.
