Internacional have performed better than Bahia so far this season, but every game starts at 0-0. Here's all you need to know about the upcoming game:
It's no vacation for neither Internacional nor Bahia as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
These teams have little in common geographically as Bahia have to travel 3100 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Internacional form and stats
As mentioned below, Internacional are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 3 Serie A games. Ever since the Grêmio game Internacional has been unbeatable here at Estádio José Pinheiro Borda producing five straight wins.
Internacional travelled for their previous game, a trip to Palmeiras that ended 1-1. In the game before, an away victory match versus Botafogo with a 2-0 scoreline.
The hometeam coach E. Coudet made a successful contribution in the game against Palmeiras, bringing on Thiago Galhardo who scored the equalizer in the 1-1 draw.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Internacional as they have a new game in only four days, a Serie A match thankfully also at home. Ceará are visiting.
The Internacional manager E. Coudet has got the team scoring with 6 from 3 home games in the league. Internacional have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 0 goals.
Bahia form and stats
Still no away game victory in the Serie A for Bahia with 1 draw and 1 loss from their first 2 attempts.
Home advantage was not enough for Bahia in their previous game, as they lost their Serie A-match, hosting Flamengo, 3-5. A draw for Bahia before that, at their own venue hosting Palmeiras (1-1).
A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Bahia, as mentioned above. 8 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
A quick return to home after this game, as Bahia are hosting Grêmio in the Serie A only four days away.
1 goal so far away for Bahia, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 3. All from 2 league matches away.
Head 2 Head
Last ten meetings between the teams: Internacional won six, Bahia won three and one draw. three games with over 2,5 goals, seven matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
