Bahia know they will have a grim visit to Internacional and their Estádio José Pinheiro Borda. This guide has all the knowledge you need before the game.

Insights:
  • Internacional have the fewest scored goals (5) in Serie A
  • Bahia haven’t played a single 0-0 game.

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.

These are full days for the team playing at home, as they had a game only three days ago in the Copa Libertadores. That game was an away game at Metropolitanos, so at least Internacional are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Internacional form and stats

Internacional have secured 6 points from their first three home games in the Serie A. A decent catch, still with room for improvement.

Internacional are returning here after visiting Metropolitanos in a Copa Libertadores fixture and winning with a 2-1 scoreline. Patrick (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 8.84/10. Patrick scored one goal, served one assist, hit four key passes, dribled past the opponent 4 of 5 times and had 40 successful passes (of 45 total).

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Gremio (1-3).

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Internacional handle that role? We have found 6 games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are 1 win, 3 draws and 2 defeats.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Internacional as they have a new game in only three days, a Copa do Brasil match thankfully also at home. América Mineiro are visiting.

At Estádio José Pinheiro Borda, Internacional has the goal stats of 3-3 (for/against) from 3 league fixtures.

Bahia form and stats

Bahia are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Serie A, having played 3 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses).

There were no winners in Bahia's previous match, the home game that ended 1-1 vs Goias (placed 16th). The attacker Everaldo got a match rating of 8.34 in that game. Everaldo scored one goal, hit the woodwork once, hit five key passes and dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times.

Before that, 0-0 away against Santos in the Copa do Brasil.

After this away game Bahia return home for a Copa do Brasil game against Santos. That game is only three sleeps after this.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Bahia as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. Bahia struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 5 goals conceded from these games.

Head 2 Head

Internacional have won or drawn the last 10 matches (8-2-0) against Bahia.
