Season ticket holders at Estadio Jornalista Mário Filho haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Fluminense languishing in the 15th position so far. The guesting Bahia will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

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 Fluminense and Bahia.

The visitors are W3-D4-L4 on the road this term. That's in the Serie A.

There were no winners in Bahia's previous match, a Serie A home game that ended 0-0 vs São Paulo (placed 5th). The game before that, was lost at home, a 1-2 defeat against Athletico PR.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found four similar matches played by Bahia in our archives, and the results are: 0 wins for Bahia, 2 draws and 2 defeats.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Bahia manager Roger Machado as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Grêmio.
