Flamengo have delivered 5 home triumphs this season, Bahia have won 2 away. Who upgrades their records after this meeting?

Insights:
  • Flamengo have won significantly more corners at home than away.
  • Bahia have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.

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.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Bahia form and stats

Bahia have only collected 9 points from their away games in the Serie A, after 2-3-7 (12 played).

Home advantage was not enough for Bahia in their previous game as they lost hosting Santos, 1-2. Bahia were so close to getting something from the game against Santos, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal four minutes into overtime.

Ahead of that match was the victory versus Coritiba at their stadium, the result 4-2.

The visitors have scored 8 goals from 12 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Bahia struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 18 goals conceded from these games.

Head 2 Head

The 6 most recent fixtures involving these two teams have all finished as Flamengo wins. Will history repeat itself?

The two duelists also played each other previously this match year: Bahia - Flamengo 2-3. The games between these sides sometimes lean towards being a bit wild, having seen 8 red cards from the last ten duels.
