Bahia form and stats

Bahia, who have the most conceded goals (48) in Serie A, have only collected 9 points from their away games in the Serie A, after 2-3-8 (13 played). It's looking increasingly bleak for Bahia who now has to deal with a six game losing streak. Coritiba was the last time a defeat was avoided. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Bahia are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

Home advantage was not enough for Bahia in their previous game, as they lost their Serie A-match, hosting Internacional, 1-2. Prior to that match, the Bahia manager L. Cavalcanti faced defeat when travelling to Flamengo and losing 3-4.

Bahia goalkeeper Douglas Friedrich had a great day against Internacional, but despite making eight saves the loss could not be avoided.

The schedule is very tough for Bahia now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Serie A game at Atletico GO is waiting in only four days.

The visiting Bahia have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 14 goals from 13 games. The Bahia manager L. Cavalcanti has some worries about the defense as 27 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

The most recent history between these sides is the Bahia - Grêmio 0-2 played earlier this season. H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Grêmio four wins, two draws and Bahia four victories. As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), nine games had two or less.
