Goiás are welcoming Bahia for another important game after their 1-2 result against 3rd-placed Flamengo.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Serie A match only three days ago. That game was an away game at Flamengo, so at least Goiás are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
These teams have little in common geographically as Bahia have to travel 1600 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Goiás form and stats
With 2 Serie A wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats from their home games, Goiás, who have the most conceded goals (27) in Serie A, are certainly not brimming with confidence. It's trouble wherever Goiás are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Goiás, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
Goiás faced defeat in their previous match, away at Flamengo (1-2). Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Atletico Mineiro (0-3).
Goiás's goalkeeper Tadeu was extremely busy against Flamengo, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning ten saves. Heartbreak for Goiás in their last match as Flamengo's Pedro scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Goiás as they are travelling to their away game against Botafogo in the Serie A. That match is three days after this one.
A decent goal production from Goiás in their home games so far, with 12 goals from 7 league matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Goiás with 15 goals conceded in these matches.
Bahia form and stats
There's been little loot from Bahia's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 7 away games in the Serie A. Bahia only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 2 draws.
Bahia are travelling again after losing away to Fluminense in their previous match (0-1). That result followed a home victory 3-0 versus Vasco da Gama.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Atletico Mineiro in just three days.
Bahia have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 7 league away games 7 goals have been scored. Bahia struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 11 goals conceded from these games.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Goiás three wins, three draws and Bahia four victories. As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
